The victims of drones are not
faceless individuals: That's the message an artist collective hopes to
convey with its new project. Displaying giant photos of children in
Pakistani areas typically targeted by the military, the artists hope the
oversized images will be seen by drone operators sitting thousands of
miles away, flying the unmanned vehicles. The project uses the hashtag
#NotABugSplat, referencing how one drone operator described what victims
look like when viewed through a drone's camera. Kathy Kelly, a
coordinator at Voices for Creative Nonviolence, speaks with RT's Ameera
David about the responsibility the artists feel they have to speak out
on the topic of drone use.
