Abstract or Keywords
The camera drone opens up new aerial ways of seeing, moving and relating. I concentrate on the example of drone-logs, the juxtaposing of sky video with ground audio, as an innovative – technographic – approach for video ethnography and elicitation. As a hybrid of multiple technologies and techniques, drone-logs can sharpen the focus on fleeting, slippery, sensory and kinaesthetic motions, notions and emotions. Ultimately, I argue for the value of auto-drone-technography as an analytical approach for researchers to consider their own affective mobilities within the research process and acknowledge their respective relational emplacements from distanced and detached multi-directional perspectives.
