Aether
Riyadh, 2024
1500 Drones
Commissioned for the Noor Festival Riyadh 2024, Aether is UVA's largest-scale work to date, an aerial light sculpture that redefines the sky as a dynamic, living canvas. Utilising 1500 drones in a meticulously choreographed performance, the work manifests the ancient concept of unseen forces shaping our world. Through a series of evolving compositions, Aether reveals the delicate interplay between chaos and order, illuminating the imperceptible energies that bind the universe together.
