City of Drones is an interactive digital environment developed with musician John Cale and speculative architect Liam Young.
Charting the story of a lost drone drifting through an abstract cityscape, players pilot a virtual craft to explore an infinite urban landscape. Samples from Cale’s original soundscape compositions echo across the landscape as we see the city through the eyes of the drone, buzzing between the buildings, drifting endlessly, in an ambient audio visual choreography.
City of Drones can be viewed live on cityofdrones.io, and at the Barbican's Digital Revolution exhibition.
