Enlisting the Body: Joseph DeLappe and "Social Tactics”.

Chris Lanier interviews new media artist Joseph DeLappe about his 
retrospective exhibition "Social Tactics" at the Fresno Art Museum, and 
his Drone Memorial project at Fresno State University.

The Fresno Art Museum, in collaboration with the Fresno State Center for 
Creativity and the Arts, is exhibiting "Social Tactics," a 
mini-retrospective of the work of Joseph DeLappe, a new media artist and 
director of the Digital Media Program at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The exhibit has been running alongside the construction of a to-scale 
sculptural reproduction of an MQ1 Predator Drone on the campus of Fresno 
State, coordinated by DeLappe and executed by students and volunteers.

"I had the opportunity to interview DeLappe about his work, and the way 
it connects to militarism, memorialization, and embodiment. His work has 
been an ongoing critique of games that look like war, and warfare that 
looks like gaming – insisting that, within the hall of mirrors that 
forms "simulation culture," reality still must be accounted for, and 
attended to." Lanier
