MOVABLE BORDERS: THE REPOSITION MATRIX with David Young

The devices that once populated the creepy dystopian futures of science 
fiction have broken through into our daily reality. Drones are becoming 
part of everyday life. They scout our public (and private) spaces, 
carrying out surveillance or reconnaissance in the service of nation 
states and as unmanned robotic tools, armed with missiles and bombs, 
acting in defence of "national security".


According to a European commission document drones will be commonplace 
in the skies within a decade. There are already many companies building 
these airborne, robotic spies for military and police use and this has 
"prompted concerns from civil liberties groups, who fear that the 
unmanned aircraft will result in more forms of surveillance.” (Jamie Doward)

During the two weeks of Movable Borders: Here Come the Drones! people 
are invited to visit the gallery, view artworks and join a workshop by 
artists who are contemplating how drones are changing the way we see and 
relate to each other and the world around us.

Artworks and projects by Bureau of Inverse Technology (US & AU), 
Lawrence Byrd (US), Patrick Lichty (US), Dave Miller & Gavin Stewart 
(UK), The Force of Freedom (DE) and Dave Young (NL)
