This book explores recreational uses of consumer drones from the
lenses of media ecology, mobile communication, mobilities research,
and science and technology studies. In this provocative
ethnography, Julia M. Hildebrand discusses camera drones as mobile
media for meaningful play. She thus widens perspectives onto the
flying camera as foremost unmanned aircraft, spying tool, or
dangerous toy towards a more comprehensive understanding of its
potentials. How should we situate drone practices in recreational
spaces? What ways of seeing, moving, and being do hobby drones open
up? Across chapters about drone geography, communication, mobility,
visuality, and human-machine relations, Aerial Play introduces
novel frameworks for drone affordances, such as communication on
the fly, disembodied mobilities, auratic vertical play, and
drone-mindedness. In the mobile companionship with her own drone,
Hildebrand contributes an innovative "auto-technographic" method
for the self-reflective study of media and mobility. Ultimately,
her grounded and aerial fieldwork illuminates new technological,
mobile, visual, and social relations in everyday spaces.
