“Not part of HOUSE, but just up the road and unquestionably worth a look, is James Bridle’s Under The Shadow of the Drone (pictured, top). Commissioned by digital culture agency, Lighthouse, for the Brighton Festival, it is a site-specific installation on the seafront (between the Pier and The Concorde 2) which asks questions of our relationship with technology and its morality, invisibility and omnipotence (you can, and should, also head to Lighthouse to see a short film about the work). Looking like a drone shadow painted on the road in chromakey green, it looms ominously indeed. Bridle (who looks like a cleaner cut fourth member of The Cribs) gave an on-site explanation of the themes of “augmented death-dealing,” which greatly added to his work’s foreboding nature.”
