These instructions are called cues, and during a live performance, there will be a person operating a console that runs the software, launching each cue throughout the performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meet Your Creator is a little more complex from a design standpoint because this show involved the use of several drones which were programmed to execute aerial movements. I&rsquo;m not familiar with how these would be programmed, however there is a screenshot from this project showing the software used for the drones, and you can see some &lsquo;else if&rsquo; statements! <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"624\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/hMcrbPuvsttJJ0EBXkbdUIEvnNExLO8zowmKpBKdTe5EGa_iX-Vap5ZHSJTTOrtBJHYurvrQB-Pz5xU3IuVWZu7LhP17lcUrhuHDAwRkZqBFysGeVd6Olxlz2V9UfHVWSYeVwrwf=s0\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.memo.tv\/works\/meet-your-creator\/%20\">http:\/\/www.memo.tv\/works\/meet-your-creator\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&amp;quot;Meet Your Creator&amp;quot; Excerpts, June 2012\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/105175961?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963&amp;h=a3ec10698e\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Memo Akten: Show Director<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project that caught my eye is Meet Your Creator, which was a live performance at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity in 2012.
