INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVES ON CANVAS      PHILIPPE HALABURDA STUDIO, NEWBURGH, NY, USA     MARCH 2024

Remote-warfare

About the theme of "remote-warfare"

Remote warfare, fueled by drones and cyber warfare, epitomizes modern conflict, distancing combatants while raising profound ethical dilemmas.

​Its remote nature challenges traditional notions of warfare, sparking
a surprising fascination amid my anti-military sentiments.

Through abstract maps on canvas, I employ a unique blend of color tapes, yarn, and LEGO bricks to symbolize each component of this evolving process.

The canvas serves as a metaphorical battlefield where traditional notions
of warfare are blurred by the emergence of remote engagement tactics. 

I depict the spatial dynamics of remote warfare with color tapes representing geographical terrain and strategic locations.

Yarn intertwines across the canvas, symbolizing the interconnected networks
of communication and surveillance integral to modern military operations.

Each LEGO brick represents the technological advancements driving remote warfare, from drones and satellites to cyber warfare capabilities.  

Through this mixed media approach, I aim to convey the multifaceted nature
of remote warfare, where traditional battle lines are replaced by invisible boundaries dictated by technological reach.

The artwork's abstract nature invites viewers to contemplate the ethical implications of remote engagement and the human cost of conflicts fought
from afar.

My art reflects on the ever-evolving nature of warfare in the digital age
and the need for critical dialogue surrounding its ethical dimensions.
