Game of drones

Meer over het boek

In combination with artificial intelligence, drones are deemed to be the most important military technological innovation since the invention of the nuclear bomb.0Given technologies that can observe and remain invisible at the same time, a central focus of the exhibits lies in pulling the drones back into the realm of the visible. The event focuses on the eight topic areas of animism, protest, feminist perspectives, surveillance/ counter-surveillance, military conflict, artificial intelligence, the museum's own "Claire" drone and Drone Shadow as it used in the field. The drones' outlines are reconstructed and explained in technical detail, true to scale, in public? in addition, aspects of animism and demystifying technology are reflected: the drone as a conscious agent and an object inhibited by a soul. Frequently characterised as "masculine technology", feminist positions increasingly focus on the object/subject status of the drones. The large space already occupied by drone technologies becomes increasingly significant, including how it will have a decisive influence on our future when combined with artificial intelligence.00The exhibits range from kites to multicopters for civil and military applications to targeting, combat and recon drones. How do indigenous people use drones for resistance, what does anti-drone gear look like, what turns a drone into a spiritual being and how does a drone use AI? It becomes evident that our every-day life increasingly depends on automated machines and is being monitored by unmanned aircraft.00Participating artists: Ignacio Acosta, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Anohni, Frédérick A.
