War at a Distance
Thematic Why War? Curated by Cara Mertes
Harun Farocki, one of Germany’s best-known experimental filmmakers, continues his provocative filmic essays on the relationship between wartime production and destruction. Using military-industrial images and training materials, Farocki explores the history of the development of guided missile systems, tracing how human sight is being replaced by computerized tracking systems and how these technologies have been incorporated into an increasingly surveilled society.
