I have been using drones as subject matter and visual fodder for three years
now.
Not so much about military drones but activism and domestication of military
technology in regards to New Aesthetics.
I am also presenting and intervening at the Digital Dark Side summit at the
Center for 21st Century Studies in Milwaukee in early may.
Honor and I are talking about our respective drone discourses, hers about
artists, mine about autonomous gaze and infantilization of military technology

flying drone missions, and nearly losing it at times.

clear cut answer, and I feel it is
