"Kill Box" is the Military term used to describe an area on a grid map that a mission planner designates targets to be destroyed.
Killbox is an online game and interactive installation that critically explores the nature of drone warfare, its complexities and consequences. It is an experience which explores the use of technology to transform and extend political and military power, and the abstraction of killing through virtualisation. Killbox, will involve audiences in a fictionalized interactive experience in virtual environments based on documented drones strikes in Northern Pakistan. The work is an international collaboration between U.S. based artist/activist, Joseph DeLappe and Scotland-based artists and game developers, Malath Abbas, Tom Demajo and Albert Elwin.
Please Note: Killbox is about Drone warfare which is a sensitive subject. The graphics are realistic in parts and abstracted in others. No explicit or violent graphics are used but parental guidance might be appropriate.
