Hendrik Bender: Medium Drohne, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

Drones and their media-visual application are becoming increasingly more popular, and have long since captured our media practices and imaginations. Contrary to their reduction to ballistic imagery, drone images also reveal the emerging logic of a digital environment characterised by a ubiquitous, mobile, and networked force of data collection. Today, drones stand not only for the rapid sensorial penetration of space and time, but also for new media forms of situated decision-making. This book confronts the phenomenon from a media theory and sociological technology studies perspective and shows that it is now how situated mobile objects see us that comes into focus for the first time - and not only how we see them.
