ʻO Art Against Drones

Na Kathy Kelly, ʻO ka holomua, Mei 13, 2021

Ma ka laina kiʻekiʻe, kahi mākaʻikaʻi mākaʻikaʻi i New York City, nā poʻe kipa ma ka ʻaoʻao komohana o Lower Manhattan e piʻi aʻe ma luna o ke alanui i kahi laina kiʻekiʻe o ke kaʻaahi ukana a i kēia manawa he ala hele mālie a hoihoi hoʻi ia i ka hale. Eia nā mea hele wāwae e hauʻoli he paka-e like me ka hamama kahi e hiki ai iā lākou ke ʻike i ka nani o ke kūlanakauhale, ka hana noʻeau, a me ke kahaha o ka launa pū ʻana.

I ka hopena o Mei, kahi Predator drone replica, e hōʻike koke ʻia ma luna o ka laina kiʻekiʻe ma 30th Street, e nānā paha i ka poʻe ma lalo. ʻO ka "gaze" o ke kiʻi keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo na Sam Durant, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Untitled (drone)," i ke ʻano o ka US military's Predator killer drone, e kahakaha ʻole ʻia ma luna o ka poʻe ma lalo, e kaʻa nei ma luna o kāna iwakāluakūmālima kapuaʻi- kia kiʻekiʻe kila, kona alakaʻi alakaʻi ʻia e ka makani.

ʻAʻole like me ka Predator maoli, ʻaʻole ia e lawe i ʻelua mau missile Hellfire a me kahi kāmela nānā. Lawe ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona make o ka drone mai kā Durant kiʻi kiʻi. Eia naʻe, lana kona manaʻo e lilo ia i kūkākūkā.

ʻO "Untitled (drone)" ke ʻano mahalo nā nīnau "e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā drones, ka nānā ʻana, a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā wahi ma kahi mamao a kokoke," wahi a Durant i loko o kahi ʻōlelo "a ma ke ʻano he kaiāulu aelike mākou me ka makemake e hoʻomau i kēia mau hana."

Ke nānā aku nei ʻo Durant i kahi mea no ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mea hiki a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.

I ka 2007, kahi makemake like e hāpai i nā nīnau e pili ana i ka luku luku ʻana i ka mea pena ʻo New York ʻo Wafaa Bilal, he loea ma NYU's Tisch Gallery, e hoʻopaʻa iā ia iho i kahi cubicle kahi, no hoʻokahi mahina, a i kēlā me kēia hola o ka lā, hiki iā ia ke mamao mamao ʻia e ka pā pōhaku pena kala. ʻO ka mea ma ka Pūnaewele i koho e hiki ke kī iā ia.

ʻO ia ua pana mai ma mua o 60,000 mau manawa e ka poʻe mai 128 mau ʻāina like ʻole. Ua kapa ʻo Bilal i ka papahana ʻo "Domestic Tension." I loko o kahi puke i loaʻa, Kiʻi i kahi Iraqi: Ke ola Art a me ke kūʻē ʻana ma lalo o ka pū, ʻO Bilal a me ka mea kākau ʻo Kary Lydersen i kākau i ka hopena kupaianaha o ka papahana "Domestic Tension".

Me nā wehewehe ʻana o ka hoʻouka mau ʻana i ka pōpō pena-pena iā Bilal, ua kākau lākou e pili ana i ka poʻe komo pūnaewele i hakakā me nā kaohi e mālama iā Bilal mai ka kī ʻia ʻana. A ua wehewehe lākou i ka make o ko Bilal kaikaina, ʻo Hajj, ʻo ia pepehi e ka ea US i ka lele kaua honua i 2004.

Ke hakakā nei me ka nāwaliwali weliweli i ka make koke i ʻike ʻia e ka poʻe āpau o ʻIraka, ʻo Bilal, ka mea i ulu aʻe i ʻIraka, me kēia hōʻike i koho ai e ʻike hapa i ka makaʻu makaʻu o ka lilo koke ʻana, a me ka ʻole o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, ua hoʻouka kaua ʻia. Ua hoʻoweliweli ʻo ia iā ia iho i ka poʻe e makemake ana iā ia e hōʻino.

ʻEkolu mau makahiki ma hope mai, i Iune 2010, ua hoʻomohala ʻo Bilal i ka “A me ka helu ʻana”Hana noʻeau kahi a ka mea pena kiʻi i pena ai i nā inoa o nā kūlanakauhale nui o ʻIraka ma kā Bilal kua. Ua hoʻohana ka mea pena kiʻi i kāna nila kuʻi e kau i nā "kiko o ka inika, nā tausani a me nā tausani o lākou-ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻeleu he mea make o ke kaua Iraq. Kuhi ʻia nā kiko kiko kokoke i ke kūlanakauhale kahi i make ai ke kanaka: ka inika ʻulaʻula no nā koa ʻAmelika, ka inika ultraviolet no nā kamaʻāina Iraqi, ʻike ʻole ʻia ke ʻike ʻole ʻia ma lalo o ke kukui ʻeleʻele.

ʻO Bilal, Durant, a me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe e kōkua iā mākou e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ke kaua kolone US e kūʻē i ka poʻe o ʻIraka a me nā lāhui ʻē aʻe. He mea kōkua ke hoʻohālikelike i nā papahana a Bilal a me Durant.

ʻO ke drone pristine, unsullied paha he hiʻohiʻona kūpono no ke kaua US he iwakāluakūmālima kenekulia i hiki ke mamao loa. Ma mua o ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka home i ka ʻaina awakea me kā lākou poʻe ponoʻī, hiki i nā koa ma kekahi ʻaoʻao o ka honua ke pepehi i nā pūʻali koa i manaʻo ʻia he mile mai kēlā me kēia kahua kaua. ʻO ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia e nā lele drone e hoʻokele paha lākou ma ke ala, a hele paha i nā home o ko lākou ʻohana.

Hoʻolālā nā ʻenehana ʻo US i nā mile o nā kiʻi kiaʻi mai nā drone kāmela, akā ʻaʻole hōʻike ia ʻano kiaʻi i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka poʻe i hoʻokumu ʻia e kahi mea hoʻohana drone.

I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e like me kā Andrew Cockburn i kākau ai i loko o ka ʻO London Review of Books, "Kau ʻia nā kānāwai o ka physics palena o ke ʻano kiʻi mai nā drone mamao loa i hiki ʻole ke lanakila i kahi nui o ke kālā. Inā ʻaʻole kiʻi ʻia mai kahi kiʻekiʻe a me ke aniani maikaʻi, ʻike ʻia kēlā me kēia me he kiko lā, nā kaʻa e like me nā puʻupuʻu blurry. "

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he pilikino pilikino kā Bilal mākaʻikaʻi ʻana, e hoʻopili pū ana i ka ʻehaʻeha o nā mea i hōʻino ʻia. Ua ʻehaʻeha ʻo Bilal, e like me ka ʻeha o ka peʻa, e inoa i ka poʻe nona nā kiko kiko ma kona kua, ka poʻe i make.

Ke noʻonoʻo nei iā "Untitled (drone)," he mea hopohopo ʻole ke hoʻomanaʻo ʻana ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ma ka US ke kapa i nā limahana he kanakolu o Afghanistan. pepehi e kahi US drone i ka makahiki 2019. Ua hoʻokuʻu kahi pelekikena drone US i kahi missile i loko o kahi hoʻomoana o nā limahana o ka poʻe malihini o Afghanistan e hoʻomaha ana ma hope o kekahi lā o ka ʻohi ʻana i nā hua paina ma ka moku ʻo Nangarhar o Afghanistan. He kanahā mau kānaka i hōʻeha ʻia. I nā pailota drone US, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā mea like me he kiko lā.

I nā wahi kaua he nui, nā koa wiwo ʻole a wiwo ʻole i nā ola kanaka e hōʻike i nā hōʻike o ka poʻe e ʻeha nei i nā hana kīnā kanaka e pili ana i ke kaua, e like me ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i nā lehulehu. ʻO Mwatana no nā pono kīvila kanaka, hoʻokumu ʻia ma Yemen, e noiʻi ana i nā hana ʻino kanaka i hana ʻia e nā ʻaoʻao hakakā āpau ma Yemen. I kā lākou hoike, "Ka hāʻule ʻana o ka make mai ka lani mai, ka hōʻeha kūloko mai ka United States 'Use of Lethal Force in Yemen," ua nānā lākou he ʻumikūmālua mau hoʻouka kaua US ma Yemen, he ʻumi o lākou i hana ʻia e ka US drone, ma waena o 2017 a me 2019.

Wahi a ka hōʻike ma kahi o kanakolukūmāwalu mau makaʻāinana Yemeni — he ʻumikūmāiwa kāne, ʻumikūmākolu mau keiki, a ʻeono mau wahine - i make a ʻehiku mau mea i hōʻeha ʻia i ka hoʻouka kaua.

Mai ka hōʻike, ʻike mākou i nā kuleana nui a nā mea i pepehi ʻia i pāʻani ma ke ʻano he ʻohana a me nā lālā kaiāulu. Heluhelu mākou i nā ʻohana i nele i ka loaʻa kālā ma hope o ka luku ʻia ʻana o ka poʻe loaʻa uku me ka poʻe hānai lawaiʻa, nā lawaiʻa, nā limahana, a me nā mea hoʻokele. Ua wehewehe nā haumāna i kekahi o nā kāne i pepehi ʻia ma ke ʻano he kumu aloha. Aia pū kekahi o ka poʻe make he haumāna o ke kulanui a me nā wahine hale. ʻO ka poʻe aloha e kanikau nei no ka make ʻana o ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia e hopohopo nei i ka lohe ʻana i kahi hum o kahi drone.

I kēia manawa ua maopopo ua hiki i ka Houthis ma Yemen ke hoʻohana i nā hiʻohiʻona 3-D e hana i kā lākou mau drones ponoʻī a lākou i kī ai i ka palena, ke pā nei i nā pahuhopu i Saudi Arabia. Ua wānana loa ʻia kēia ʻano hoʻolaha.

Ua hoʻolaha aku ka US i ka manaʻo e kūʻai aku i ka United Arab Emirates he kanalima mau mokulele F-35, he ʻumikūmāwalu mau drones Reaper, a me nā missiles, nā pōkā a me nā pūʻali koa like ʻole. Ua hoʻohana ka United Arab Emirates i kāna mau mea kaua e kūʻē i kona poʻe ponoʻī a ua holo ʻo ia i nā hale paʻahao i Yemen kahi i hoʻomāinoino ʻia a haki ʻia nā kānaka ma ke ʻano he kanaka, kahi hopena e kali ana i nā loiloi Yemeni o kā lākou mana.

Hiki i ke kau ʻana o kahi drone ke nānā aku i ka poʻe ma Manhattan ke lawe iā lākou i loko o ke kūkākūkā nui.

Ma waho o nā pūʻali koa he nui i palekana ma waena o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa — kahi e hoʻokele ʻia ai nā drones e hana make i ka make ma luna o Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe - ua hana pinepine nā mea hoʻolale i nā hanana noʻeau. Ma 2011, ma Hancock Field ma Syracuse, he kanakolukumamāwalu mau mea hoʻouluulu i hopu ʻia no kahi "make-in" i ka wā a lākou e moe wale ai, ma ka puka pā, e uhi ana iā lākou iho me nā pale koko.

ʻO ke poʻo inoa o kā Sam Durant kiʻi kiʻi, "Untitled (drone)," ʻo ia hoʻi ma ke ʻano he inoa ʻole ia, e like me ka nui o nā mea i hōʻino ʻia i nā US Predator drones ua hoʻolālā ʻia e like.

ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe ma nā wahi he nui o ka honua ke ʻōlelo. Hoʻohālikelike, ʻaʻole mākou e kū i ka hoʻomāinoino a make paha no ka kūʻē. Hiki iā mākou ke haʻi i nā moʻolelo o ka poʻe i pepehi ʻia i kēia manawa e kā mākou drones, a i ʻole ke nānā ʻana i nā lani i ka makaʻu iā lākou.

Pono mākou e haʻi i kēlā mau moʻolelo, kēlā mau ʻoiaʻiʻo, i ko mākou lunamakaʻāinana i koho ʻia, i nā kaiāulu pili i ka manaʻoʻiʻo, i nā kālaiʻike, i ka pāpāho a i ko mākou ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha. A inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi ma New York City, e haʻi iā lākou e makaʻala no kahi Predator drone ma Manhattan haʻahaʻa. Hiki i kēia drone hoʻokohukohu ke kōkua iā mākou e hakakā me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka wikiwiki i kahi pahu honua i pāpā drone drones.

Ua hana ʻo Kathy Kelly ma kahi o ka hapalua kenekulia e hoʻopau i nā kaua pūʻali koa a me ka hoʻokele waiwai. I kekahi manawa, alakaʻi kāna hana iā ia i nā wahi kaua a me nā hale paʻahao. Hiki ke kiʻi iā ia ma: Kathy.vcnv@gmail.com.
