"What happens when a drone enters a gallery or appears on screen? What thresholds are crossed as this weapon of war occupies everyday visual culture? These questions have appeared with increasing regularity since the advent of the War on Terror, when drones began migrating into civilian platforms of film, photography, installation, sculpture, performance art, and theater. As the first monograph dedicated to the subject, this book attempts to not only define the emerging genre of "drone art" but to outline its primary features, identify its historical lineages, and assess its political aspirations. Richly detailed and politically salient, this book is the first comprehensive analysis of the intersections of drones, art, technology, and power."--
Introduction : the perverse symmetry of drone art -- Signature strikes and world-making -- How to photograph a drone : the nesting logic of vertical empire -- From the ground below : spotting industries, smartphones and the post-panopticism of drones -- The animal remainder : excavating non-human life from contemporary drones -- Showing sensing : drone space and post-media in film and theater -- Conclusion : super symmetry, capital and war
