The project is the inspiration of UK writer and artist James Bridle who use public records from Pakistan , Yemen , and Somalia to hound down the location of drone strike . After that , he puts aery shot from Google Maps up on Instagram . Bridle ’s goal is to bring the death bell of these strikes to the public ’s tending , by putting it somewhere where we apportion our own comparitively innocous photos . Heput it this way to Buzzfeed :
The Dronestagram project is another path to make these thing more seeable and quick . We do n’t see them , or where they work , and it make it easier to push aside – it ’s why I ’m choosing to do this within web like Instagram and Tumblr , which are more incorporate into people ’s day-after-day life sentence
The most chilling part of the project is n’t the photos themselves , but rather the apposition of the text edition that ’s paired with them , which often include kill enumeration . That picture up above ? Three were reported stamp out and three reported injured , including a child .
You canfollow the projection on Instagramfor your day-by-day dose of filtered sobriety , and read more of Bridle ’s thoughts , and more about his methods over at Buzzfeed .
