To see without being seen : contemporary art and drone warfare

Brèaunert, Svea, author, Malone, Meredith, author, Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, host institution

Overview

\"As the ubiquitous vision and remote engagement of unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, are redefining contemporary life, their impact is filtering into art and visual culture, generating new investigations into issues of perception, visibility, technology, and fear. Considering an international array of video, sculpture, installation, photography, and web-based projects, To See Without Being Seen: Contemporary Art and Drone Warfare reveals the unique potential of art to further our understanding of--and give visual form to--drone warfare and digital surveillance in today's world. While the drone is the specific point of departure for this investigation, the essays in this book illuminate the ways in which the drone embodies a much broader discussion about the rapidly shifting conditions of perception--of seeing, and of being seen--made possible by advanced technology.\"--Publisher's description.
