Drone and Apocalypse is an exhibit catalog for a retrospective of
twenty-first-century art. Its narrator, Cynthia Wey, is a failed
artist convinced that apocalypse is imminent. She writes critical
essays delineating apocalyptic tendencies in drone music and
contemporary art. Interspersed amid these essays are "speculative
artworks", Wey's term for descriptions of artworks she never
constructs that center around the extinction of humanity. Wey's
favorite musicians are drone artists like William Basinski, Celer,
Thomas Koner, Les Rallizes Denudes, and Eliane Radigue, and her
essays relate their works to moments of ineffability in Herodotus,
Aristotle, Plato, Pliny the Elder, Isidore of Seville, Robert
Burton, Hegel, and Dostoyevsky. Well after Wey's demise, the
apocalypse never arrives, but Wey's journal is discovered. Curators
fascinated with twenty-first-century culture use her writings as
the basis for their exhibit "Commentaries on the Apocalypse", which
realizes Wey's speculative artworks as photographs, collages, and
sound/video installations.
