Part of Schülke's Drone series, Spider Drone #4 reimagines surveillance as a technological parasite. Its insect-like body and camera arm move in response to audience activity, creating a parody of control. The sleek finish evokes a fighter aircraft, while exposed wires and the screen display heighten the sense of scrutiny. Spider Drone #4 pivots and "shoots" in an absurd automated warcraft simulation. Though it doesn't collect data, its 'threat' of surveillance raises questions about privacy, spectatorship, and authorship.
