從上而下的視角自古以來便是神聖且高於一切的,而離開地心高飛的動作,可見於監視、探索、環視或擺脫重力的束縛。此作以視野超脫人類極限的無人機做為第一人稱主角,除了作為功能性的設備本身,亦在科學、傳媒及藝術的脈絡下進行思考與探討。

科學家預測無人機將成為下一代的全視者,帶來了後環形監獄的時代,並見證一場全面監控的轉型。社會學家鮑曼曾提到,道德的標準是有風險性的,遠處監控反而更容易誘發不道德的行為。鮑曼所預測的未來是全面的混亂,而保羅將之發展為一個視覺-聲音的腳本,以人形化的無人機詳述了一段無人機種族間對抗、悔恨與復仇的故事。

The top-down perspective has been sacred and above all since the ancient times. The motion of leaving the Earth and soaring can be seen for surveillance, exploration, looking down, or the freedom from gravity. A drone that possesses the sight beyond the limitation of man is employed as the first-person protagonist. Apart from being a functional device, it also engages in the contemplation and investigation in the contexts of science, massive media, and art.

Scientists have predicted that drones will be the all-seeing being of next generation that ushers in the post-panopticon era, witnessing a transformation to a full surveillance. Sociologist Bauman once said that the standard of morality has its risk, and that surveillance in distance may trigger immoral behavior much easier. The future Bauman predicted is a complete chaos, and Paul develops it into an audio-visual script, using a humanized drone to elaborate a story of confrontation, remorse, and vengeance among the race of drones.
