Artist Statement:
Signature Strokes consists of ultra-short performative interventions in which a remotely controlled drone paints ephemeral graffiti in public space. The title is a play on signature strikes – the drone killings based on suspicious behavioural patterns thought to constitute proof of terrorist activity. But when the drone engages with graffitti, the marks it creates can be understood as a kind of signature. During ISEA2015, the drone will appear as an expressive agent that will unexpectedly intervene and leave visual commentaries.
