| "'Drive' is a 7-part video series that combines traditional cinema with military tracking, identifying, and targeting technologies. Incorporating old and new, analog and network, civilian and military, 'Drive' moves toward a post-cinematic language -- one that has specific historical and political resonances. Cinema has helped to establish the set of conventions through which the world of movement has come to be represented. In computerized tracking and targeting systems, however, movement is indicated differently. It is represented by way of its processing through databases. A new kind of moving image results. Harnessed to escalating new technologies -- embedded within warfare complexes both national and corporate -- these new images do not so much represent movements as track them." Links
