Performances

The collaborated with the Rhizomatics groups to produce a piece called Shadow, which also uses three drones as well as one spot light and one dancer.[3] Elevenplay teamed up with the Rhizomatiks again to produce the show Pulse, for the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico. This piece relies on projection-mapping both on the background and on the dancers.[2]

They have also collaborated individually with Rhizomatics director Daito Manabe to create a technology-enhanced show called Drone-Augmented Amazingness, which uses three drones as well as a projection-mapped backdrop. At first, the dancers direct the drones, but by the end of the piece, the drones replace the dancers.[1][4]

gollark: JS, being not wildly memory-unsafe, makes it somewhat hard to "accidentally" do stuff, I guess.
gollark: No, just meddle with the minified output.
gollark: Based on the output of `ls node_modules | wc -l` I have 732 dependencies on my project.
gollark: I would reduce my dependency count, except that's basically impossible.
gollark: Fun!
