Description
Drone Art: The Everywhere War as Medium by Thomas Stubblefield explores the intersection of drones, art, technology, and power. Since the War on Terror, drones have begun to appear in various forms of art, including film, photography, installation, sculpture, performance art, and theater. This groundbreaking study aims to define the emerging genre of "drone art", identify its historical lineages, and assess its political aspirations. Stubblefield provides a richly detailed analysis that sheds light on the complex relationships between these technologies and their impact on our visual culture. By examining the ways in which drones are used in artistic contexts, Stubblefield offers a nuanced understanding of the tensions between creative expression and military power.
