Description
Using a camera drone, Silva lifts the artist’s submitted image hundreds of feet into the air until it loses contact with the remote and the drones programmed artificial intelligence takes over. Silva records a series of these “sky burials” for 10 artists, selected by the artist from his friends and past collaborators. Silva’s installation of prints and sculpture in the exhibition further explore a world of post military drones and future rituals.
