shared space
Irene Sabine Rainer
4’ 29’’ HD video loop with drone sound, showing a man sharing a defined space with a drone. The view of the drone is documented in a book “homo ad circulum” (16,5 cm x 22 cm x 4cm) in over 2000 images.
The control of a drone as a remote – controlled electronic flying eye, orbiting the human being and representing today’s technology and its dynamics. New Technology becomes a constitutive part of human and part of his being and therefore a question to wonder where the position of humanity can be found.
A white chalk circle, a human being and a drone are part of the experimental set-up of the project – shared space. Circling around the human object, the drone produced over two thousand photographs within the space of four minutes and twentynine seconds, before its power supply failed.
