Drone: Camera, Weapon,Toy: The Aestheticization of Dark Technology By Patrick Lichty
Lichty in his essay explores the aestheticization of unmanned mobile devices more commonly known as drones. What emerges is a cultural landscape where a burgeoning remote air force polices the globe while the images generated by them elicit a perverse visual fascination amongst certain subcultures, whilst also being flown by techno-enthusiasts. What is developing is a complex set of relations that is abstracting power, interaction, and representation. http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/drone-camera-weapontoy-aestheticization-dark-technology _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
