Rethinking the View from Above

Center for the Study of the Drone co-director Arthur Holland Michel sits down with curators of apexart’s exhibition, Decolonized Skies curators Yael Messer and Gilad Reich to talk about the evolution and future of the view from above and how civilians can re-appropriate traditional tools of government surveillance for art, research, and activism.

This event is jointly sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College and is free and open to the public.

Arthur Holland Michel is a writer, researcher, and editor. He is a co-director and editor at the Center for the Study of the Drone at Bard College.
