The title of this work stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Standard Operating Procedure By The Way Down To Fuck.
At first, it was a one on one performance I made for Tanztage in 2015 that took place on Skype. It considered the intimacy of the screen via drone warfare and cam girls.
It turned into a video work when I met Scott Swanson, the first soldier to ever fire a missile from a drone in combat. What was a one on one performance for anyone became a one on one for him.
