The objective of this theoretical-practical investigation within the scope of the Masters in Multimedia Art — Art, Drones and Hacktivism: The Invisible seen from Above — is to raise these and other questions, in order to reflect on the way in which drones are being inserted into the normality of everyday life. In parallel, we seek to question the drone as a flying machine, equipped with a machinic eye that captures images, common in today's surveillance equipment. We ask how we, as artists, can act like hackers. Can we enter this hierarchical system of the gaze and find cracks where fairer alternatives are planted? We therefore present a set of artistic explorations in which our use of aerial images is not intended to be surveillance, but an investigation into what is happening in certain areas where nature and the worlds inhabited by humans coexist, most of them unknown to the majority of the local population. The artistic explorations carried out include records made using drones, through research methodologies based on practice - starting with questioning the limits of borders through the expressiveness of the narrative and the possibilities of augmented reality, by Frontiers||Territories (2019), I see the drone and the drone sees me! (2021), an artistic residency to develop the study and capture of images with drones (2021), and an interactive installation that encompasses the experience accumulated along practice based research carried out. From this exploratory journey, we conclude that aerial images can have various meanings and that they still represent issues of control and power. Their normalization and insertion into everyday life is changing the way we perceive the world.
