Description
An evening of lectures about the exhibition’s works: James Bridle talks about the idea behind »Drone Shadow« and Dr. Wolf J. Schünemann presents »GLOBALEs Netz«.
 
At the ZKM_Forecourt, the profile of a »Global Hawk«, the largest drone in active service, can currently be found. This »shadow« is part of the »Drone Shadow« series by James Bridle: Profiles of unmanned military aircraft have been painted in their original size on the streets of this world.
 
The Netzpolitik study group is also part of the exhibition with »GLOBALEs Netz«. With the interactive work, the study group highlights the connection between users of the Twitter short message service and the hashtag #zkmglobale. In his lecture, Dr. Wolf J. Schünemann, head of the study group, will present the exhibit and the activities and research focus of the study group.
 
In the discussion that will follow, there will be discussions about the term »privacy« in societies with massive surveillance measures, from an artistic and political science point of view.
