The ambivalent politics of (in)visibility are made even starker in [Forensic Architecture's](https://forensic-architecture.org/) work on Western drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Gaza.

>"The pixel resolution of contemporary, publically available satellite images is not only a product of optics, data storage, or bandwidth capacity, but of legal regulations that bear upon political and even geopolitical rationales. Throughout the height of the drone campaign and for the entire duration of our investigation, the resolution at which satellite images were made publically available was legally kept at 0.5 meters per pixel [ie about a foot]. The reason for halting the process of improving the resolution of publically available satellite images was that at 0.5 meters, the pixel resolution corresponds to the dimensions of the human body - an area 0.5 meters by 0.5 meters is roughly the size of the human body as seen from above."

So for Forensic Architecture, as for many others, the political challenge is not (or not just) how to become invisible, but how to ensure that certain state practices and injustices do not remain so. "War is invisible," Steyerl tells us, more wryly. "Capital is invisible."
