Psychotronic War comes from Novikov and Sher’s series Infrastructures, 2016-19, which they published as a book in 2019. A research project about the Russian and post-Soviet political economy, Infrastructures uses documentary, staged photography, and text to reflect on the significance of physical infrastructure such as roads and pipelines. It also encompasses the unseen institutions, practices, and processes that underpin thinking and discourse around the State and power, however, proposing that seemingly disparate phenomena are actually linked in a wider system of cultural and political infrastructure.
