V&A SOUTH KENSINGTON: Artist Talk: Lisa Barnard and Debi Cornwall

Description

Lisa Barnard’s publication Hyenas of the Battlefield, Machines in the Garden, provides a fascinating study into the 'unholy alliance' between the military, the entertainment industry and technology, and how they converge in commerce and live combat. Barnard explores how the development of digital and the emergence of virtual reality contribute to war tactics, likening the faceless anonymity of remote violence to that which is produced by the video games industry.
