Itamar Kubovy is the executive director of Pilobolus, a modern performance company. Kyle Gilpin works in MIT's Distributed Robotics Laboratory. At PopTech 2012, they and hundreds of volunteers collaborated on a performance using umbrellas fabricated with multi-colored lights, a camera fixed on a crane, and a large screen. Kubovy said that, "Fundamentally, what we were looking for is the feeling of ownership without authorship."
