Description
Digital infrastructures are now a mundane feature of everyday life. Smartphones make it possible to produce, publish and make sense of the world. The enabling networks, platforms and devices that make this possible in peacetime continue to work in wartime. This is creating new possibilities for knowing, amplifying and participating in war. The quantity of footage from Ukraine drives home the deeply mediated and ubiquitous nature of all things digital in war. This is refashioning military targeting, creating open kill chains where seeing, knowing and killing have moved beyond the control of the military into civil society more broadly.
