DRONE MEDIUM, MOBILITY, COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE

Drones have become a ubiquitous new technology. While their effect in commercial contexts such as surveys and filmmaking are well understood, their effect on consumers has hardly been studied. Now, the first book to explore this by one of our leading media ecologists, professor Julia Hildebrand. See our review of her brilliant new book Aerial Play in the media journal New Explorations: Studies in Culture and Communication. The journal project is inspired by the original journal Explorations: Studies in Culture and Communication. The first eight issues of Explorations were published between 1953 and 1957 at the University of Toronto and edited by Edmund Carpenter and Marshall McLuhan.
