+On Tuesday 16 April 2013, I gave a talk in Brussels at the seminar, //[[http://thedigitalnow.be/?page_id=178|Look Up in the Sky!]]//, which was organised by Cimatics as part of their [[http://thedigitalnow.be/?page_id=7|Digital Now]] programme to coincide with the Brussels Art Fair. Michel van Dartel moderated, Bram Crevits introduced the exhibition he curated for the programme, and [[http://booktwo.org/|James Bridle]] gave an excellent talk on drones called ‘A Quiet Disposition’, which he’ll be [[http://is.gd/jamestalk|reprising at Lighthouse]] in Brighton, on 9 May 2013.
+My talk followed on from [[http://decelerator.blogspot.fr/2012/11/a-drones-eye-view-revealing-killing.html|a piece I wrote last November]], which looked at contemporary artists’ responses to drones. It was an attempt to provide some recent art-historical context. Below is a rough account of what I said, annotated and illustrated where practical.

 [[http://vimeo.com/36267881|Electronic Countermeasures (2011)]] uses UAVs to create an ad-hoc wireless MESH network for communication. It is a poetic enactment of [[http://is.gd/babbage|Babbage’s observation]] that ‘the air itself is one vast library’ – an information-rich airspace. And, using a completely different type of UAV, it also calls to mind Marko Peljhan’s TRUST System – a conversion of a drone into a communication and broadcast system – in this instance, a mesh network.
