“Sensor Sensibility,” by Katherine Behar, depicts nonhuman intimacies between technologies and landscapes as digital sensors “get to know” the environments they monitor. Six screens show different barren sites, eerily devoid of human life, where a sensor (a silver geometric shape) makes its way purposefully through its home terrain. The videos are filmed by aerial drone. Eventually, the lonely roving sensor and the watchful flying drone begin cultivating a “sensor sensibility” based on nonhuman companionship.
