A visually compelling take on the much talked about unmanned drone, artist James Bridle‘s Under The Shadow Of The Drone is a simple outline of the MQ-9 Reaper Military Drone, drawn in a strikingly bright green upon the UK’s Brighton seafront. Controversial for multiple reasons, from weaponized deployment in Afghanistan to surveillance of even our own skies, widespread outcries by human rights and privacy activists have called for an end to their use. Bridle was commissioned by creative agency Lighthouse to complete Under The Shadow Of The Drone for this year’s Brighton Festival, an annual celebration of creativity that is held in the seaside location of Brighton and Hove. He explains part of his motivation behind the drawing in the video below.
