Brady Allard-The Five Drones
The Five Drones is presented by Cluster Festival and Video Pool Media Arts Centre.
The Five Drones is an exploration of the concept of drones in modern society. The installation is inspired by the term drone–a continuous, low-pitched sound, and the various connotations of the word in popular culture. As I reflect on the world we live in, I am struck by the increasing reliance on AI, technology, and the potential consequences this may have for humanity.
