Poor Venice. The sinking city just can't seem to catch a break. "Flooding in Venice," as VICE co-founder Shane Smith put it Episode 8 of the first season of VICE on HBO, "is the new normal."As are small-fry drones stunting over rural hydropower plants and urban decay alike, it seems. So leave it to Team Blacksheep--the guerilla drone collective known for harrassing French police, and for shooting dizzying aerials of the Costa Concordia disaster and for buzzing the Statue of Liberty (as seen in Motherboard's doc Drone On)--to wend a small quadcopter through Venice's famed corridors and ever-flooded squares. The images are as warm and inviting and clasically Italian as they are downright distressing--Venetians and tourists atop belltowers smile and wave as high tide rises higher and highers. Blacksheep's Venetian tour does however demonstrate just how useful and efficient small UAS are when it comes to geospatial mapping and monitoring slow-burn disasters.In other words, Chi fa da sé, fa per tre.Reach Brian at brian@motherboard.tv. @thebanderson // @VICEdrone
