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.
