Sažetak
Contemporary unmanned images, although having realistic effects, are in a tradition of abstraction of the Modern art, which itself was influenced by a type of abstraction made not by the origin, but rather a reduced perception. Their precursors were aerial images, which, not being familiar and ordinary to the eye of that time, produced an effect of the abstract. Bird angle view, introduced in visual culture since the Neolihtic times, developed as yet another mathematical possibility of perspective construction already in Renaissance (Harley and Woodward, 1987), strongly influencing cartography. With early flight testings in the 18th century, the aerial view developed further (Dorrian and Pousin, 2015). The invention of photography lead to its implementation in military mapping, introducing abstract vision of the reality itself, by reducing it. The aerial photographs by Edward Steichen were so abstract that Gertrude Stein concluded the aerial view influenced the rise of abstraction in painting in general (Sekula, 1975)
