[NetBehaviour] The 1, 000 Drones Project - A Participatory Memorial.

[netbehaviour]

The 1,000 Drones Project - A Participatory Memorial, is the creation of 
media artist and activist, Joseph DeLappe.

The project invites the public to create a small scale, papercraft 
replica of a General Atomics MQ-1 Predator UAV (Unmanned Arial Vehicle) 
- a drone. Participants are asked to write the name of a civilian drone 
casualty upon the wings of the aircraft.

This project is an adaptation of The 1,000 Cranes or “Senbazuru” 
tradition from Japan. This tradition holds that anyone who folds one 
thousand cranes will be granted a wish. Since World War II the tradition 
has been associated with the atomic attacks upon Nagasaki and Hiroshima 
- the folding of the cranes has become a wish for peace. Through the act 
of participating in this work of creative remembrance, the intention is 
for we, as Americans, to recognize and remember those innocents killed 
in our ongoing Global War on Terror.
