Vincent Van Gogh drone show breaks world record
The record-breaking drone show was created by EFYI Group of China and supported by Tianjin University, using 600 Agile Bee II drones. The 600-drone light show lasted 26 minutes and 19 seconds and took place in December at a temperature of 18° Fahrenheit.
Some examples of the Dutch post-impressionist painter’s most famous artworks that were recreated in the sky were the sunflowers, a starry night with a crescent moon, a Mulberry tree in autumn, and a self-portrait in a straw hat.
The drone light show tried to mimic Van Gogh’s style of painting which used bold, dramatic brush strokes to express emotion and add a feeling of movement, broken, swirling lines to suggest the movement of the wind through the sky and short, circular lines around the stars and moon to create a twinkling effect. At the end of the drone show, Van Gogh’s mental illness was referenced, reported AV Magazine.
