Certain, contrary to its title, is a project which draws a future that is seemingly indeterminate and blurred. It visualises a kind of late-capitalist dystopia in which the reaper drone becomes in part a representative proxy. A proxy that was once represented by warriors on the battlefields of transnational conflicts. It refers to the early beginnings of human disembodiment within our digitally advancing societies.

The physically embodied human is replaced by the virtual proxy as well as its value. It is no longer the human being that is valued, but the amount of data that can be extracted. The digital entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley transfer the mechanisms of the market logic of exploitation to our ubiquitous digital environment.

By developing and supplying para-autonomous warfare technologies, the same few tech companies rush into the arms industry markets. Simultaneously, centres storing and processing personal data are becoming increasingly geostrategic and monetarily valuable. Real actors within videographies are replaced by rendered stock footage in a growing online market. At the same time, human thinking is outsourced to artificial neural networks. In this blurred futures the drone acts as a symbolic representative. It heralds this technically and morally ambivalent path at the beginning of the 21st century. It is a symbol of accelerating digitalisation, of a future predicted by AI prophecy. A future in which human prediction is blurred and no longer certain.
