In 1983, Hugo Roelandt premiered the Aeromatic Art Project 1, a performance in which model helicopter pilots attempted to keep their aircraft hovering in exactly the same spot in the air. This project was part of a series of works about play, technology and movement. It also referred to the old human dream of flight, a fascination that lives on in the media and video games. Here, technology was used as artistic material without symbolic references – the technology was present in its own right.
