Don Diablo, ‘Social Sacrifice’, 2022, In collaboration with Drift, Venice Biennale.

Social Sacrifice stands as an entrancing drone choreography, exemplifying a poetic contemplation on the intricate interplay between collective agency and individual autonomy, particularly in the context of external peril. This mesmerising artistic spectacle unfolds through a captivating dance of drones, engaging in both harmonious movements and confrontational encounters. The drones’ illuminated visages, distinctly coloured as “predator drones” in crimson and the harmonious “school of fish” in resplendent white, serve as potent visual metaphors, prompting profound reflections on the delicate balance between societal cooperation and the preservation of individual freedoms.
