“Smart Dust” turns to the emerging technology of programmed and internetworked motes developed for military purposes. The minuscule motes extend military and colonial ambitions to surveil increasing swaths of occupied or enemy territory. The interlude examines the military uses of smart dust and engages the implications of maintaining the motes, including when they become electronic waste, while also bringing forth themes of joy and care.
