Falling Video 2019
In this video, I am speculating about a very near future when uavs are ubiquitous because of civilian, military, commercial and private use. I see uavs as mechanical devices that have the potential to fail through malfunction, exploding, and crashing. This video consists of images of uavs that have been damaged in flight slowly falling downward through ambiguous spaces. The number of visible uavs and the distance at which we see them slowly alters over time. Sometimes the field of view is empty, sometimes several blurred distant uavs are visible, sometimes windows open into another space – the space of war. Other times many uavs will absolutely fill the screen and at other times the uavs will be so close that the viewers want to back away from what they are seeing.
