Drone witnessing: technologies of perception in war and culture

这个项目旨在探讨无人机和其他感知技术如何改变我们见证和确定事件的意义、重要性和真相的方式。该项目将通过分析原始文本和创造性文本以及对新的证词实践进行实地研究，产生关于无人机战争和无人机技术对目击形式和过程的影响的新知识。预期的结果包括见证的关键和概念性框架，为公众辩论在战争和文化中日益依赖无人机的文化影响提供新的术语，以及无人机与自主系统设计师、人文学者和创意从业者之间知识交流的新渠道。

This project aims to investigate how drones and other technologies of perception are changing how we bear witness and determine the meaning, importance and truth of events. The project will generate new knowledge about the impact of drone warfare and drone technologies on forms and processes of witnessing by analysing both primary and creative texts and by conducting field research into new practices of testimony. Anticipated outcomes include a critical and conceptual framework for witnessing, new terms to inform public debates about the cultural impact of increased reliance on drones in war and culture, and new channels for knowledge exchange between drone and autonomous system designers, humanities scholars and creative practitioners.
