Our 2013 project DOMESTICATED, was featured on the Spring 2014 issue of TAR Magazine, entirely dedicated to the theme of FUTURITY. Artist and writer Antonio Riello wrote a splendid article titled "Dronology. The Symbolic Form of Our Time" which examines a series of projects by James Bridle, Trevor Paglen, and yours truly, among others.
The full spread is available here.

What ever happened to the future? The once imaged world of jet packs, holidays on the moon, and dinners squeezed out of toothpaste tubes? Where futurity once relied on wildly imaginative technological fantasies - often as utopian as they were monstrous - today’s conception of the world to come seems either apocalyptic or utterly regressive, an image of the future that has been frozen in the past. The prospective future of the Mars colony or the android love object had been put within the hopeful grasp of our emergent century; we now look back to silent films from the 1920s to discover "time travelers using cell phones.” From ' FUTURITY? Frozen in the past ' By Joao Ribas for TAR magazine, April 2014
