OCCUPIED LANDSCAPES: EVIDENCE OF DRONES

POP Gallery,  381 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia.

Open daily 10 am - 4 pm, or by appointment.

Occupied Landscapes: Evidence of Drones is an exhibition that poses questions about how landscape is mediated in the age of the drone, the era of persistent surveillance and the epoch of increasingly autonomous systems. Kathryn Brimblecombe-Fox pays particular attention to making visible the invisible signals that operatively enable militarised technologies and militarise-able technologies. She ‘sees’ nets of signals as forces that occupy landscape.

Kathryn’s paintings are informed by long-term interests in landscape, age-old symbols and existential risk posed by emerging technologies. Her paintings are also informed by recent academic research into accelerating developments in militarised technology, particularly airborne drone systems.
