Opening Show: Flock-60

Peace or power projection? Surveillance or new perspectives? In one way or another, drones have existed since the dawn of flight, but today they are a profoundly ingrained symbol of the digital age. Everyone from global superpowers to weekend enthusiasts have embraced increasingly versatile, capable and available drone-technologies, for both pure and nefarious purposes.

Welcome to the Opening Show of the 2020 Barents Spektakel, where a swarm of drones controlled by Russian programmers from DroneSwarm.ru will take flight above Kirkenes on a collective mission with soundscape created by Per Martinsen & Aggie Frost (Tromsø), with Timur Mizinov (Murmansk) on trumpet and a young percussion talent, Fredrik Amundsen (Pasvik).

An unstoppable flock this way comes.
