Abstract
Hendrik Bender and Marcus Burkhardt trace the history and genealogy of civil drones in the past two decades as ongoing becoming-media. Building on domestication theory they analyse the emergence of »wild« drone practices by attending to the public engineering of drones in DIY publics as well as the exploration of potential drone uses. Against this background they discuss the socio-technical stabilization of drones. The increasing taming or »closure« of drones is analysed as a mode of domestication on three different levels: featurization, professionalisation and regulation.
