In a world increasingly fractured by unending conflict, a stark division persists between those who endure the frontlines of war and disaster and those who observe these events from the comfort of digital screens in affluent enclaves. As the former seek ways to engage and involve the latter, conflicts are increasingly uploaded, relayed, and brought “home,” reshaping the hypermediated dynamics of modern warfare. In his series of photographic provocations, titled Invasive Links ,Berlin-based artist Michael Schäfer interrogates the role of the (digital) bystander. With the use of technical Schäfer challenges the boundaries separating witnesses from participants. This publication about the project includes a selection of critical texts that call for renewed moral courage to confront what we see—even when we would rather look away—and to grapple with the unsettling lessons of this emergent form of spectatorship.
