notification, and on the right side a picture of the place I was in
when I heard about the news: on the street, in the restroom, in
bed, sometimes even playing a game on the very phone on which I
received the message. Walking these same places again in my
everyday life, I see myself remembering the drone strikes. It's a

about this piece I started over two years ago. I want to discuss
unmanned drone strikes, their quite literal impact and what draws
me personally to this topic. I will also get into the follow-up
project that I felt was necessary to do. There will be a
Q&A after the talk.
