HUMANITIES - Drone War Data Nil

from Human Sun by Humanities / Low Sun

/

about

The two songs on HUMANITIES’ side of the split are both responses to ugly realities of the contemporary world we live in. On the one hand, “Drone War Data Nil” brings an ironic,yet humane dimension to the world of drone strikes. We asked ourselves about how to imagine the odd reality of weapons of war that intersect with video game logic. Where is the human dimension of these automated machines? Obviously it resides in those who are the objects of the strike, the human targets and collateral damage, but what of those anonymous figures on the other end? How do we begin to imagine them, to think the human on the other side of the screen? Perhaps, this song asks, a love letter is one way in — a love letter to an impossible addressee to expose the inhuman side of these “smart” weapons.
