AIRFLOW – Contribution to “VON OBEN – Drohnen und Schwärme”
Exhibition at fluss – Wolkersdorf (AT)
13 September – 12 October 2025
Curated by alien productions
Richie Herbst participated in the project AIRFLOW (mur.sat) as part of the exhibition “VON OBEN – Drohnen und Schwärme” at fluss in Wolkersdorf.
From the official exhibition text:
“Drones allow movement into the third dimension, even if only virtually. Those who do not fly themselves operate a proxy—a perception machine that shifts the point of view away from the body. This dissociation produces a sense of disorientation; the machine must be steered as if it were one’s own body, yet it moves differently. Drones can also act in swarms, reacting to other drones and obstacles in patterns of unstable relationships between proximity and distance. The gain of the third dimension comes with the loss of the ground beneath us—but with it, a view from above.”
