Artist Statement:
Dancing with Drones is a two channel video installation that explores the normalization of drone warfare and surveillance. In this work Starrs and Cmielewski use drones to capture still and moving images of a dancer performing within landscapes that are in crisis due to climate change. The figure exhibits a range of emotions, including curiousity, agitation, and resignation, in response to the persistently intrusive drone.
