Dronesphere: Assemblage

64-pages
As social, technical and political nodes, drones — autonomous or otherwise — are constellations of parts that constitute multi-scalar assemblages.
Said differently, the composition of parts that physically produce lift, the legal apparatuses that bound movement, the technical and algorithmic components enacting computer vision, all concurrently exist. These interactions and the composition of different parts become visible as you view them at different scales. Each scale presents a distinct spatial quality and thus aesthetic.
This pamphlet, however incompletely, attempts to represent these part-to-whole relationships, as well as to explore them at different resolutions.
