“We are currently developing the next iteration of our ‘Electronic Countermeasures’ project. For the skies above the city we have built a drone flock that drifts into formation to broadcast a local file sharing network. Part nomadic infrastructure and part robotic swarm they form a pirate internet, an aerial napster, darting between the buildings. These drones fly off and hover above the city, and create ad hoc connections and networks in a new form of nomadic territorial infrastructure. They are their own place specific, temporary, local, WIFI community- a pirate internet. Their aerial dance and dynamic glowing formations give visual expression to the digital communities of the city.”
