The Little Brother is watching you with thousands of electronical eyes. Say goodbye to your old privacy [Ars Electronica]. And IT IS ART. A closed circuit art [Metropolitan Museum], but heaven knows tomorrow.. It's so different watching from below!
Sousveillance Culture with A. Alexander, J. Magid and H. Elahi [led by Rhizome’s Marisa Olson]
"Rhizome is organizing a panel in conjunction with Conflux, on sousveillance, the practice of watching from below (sous-) rather than above (sur-). A diverse group of artists whose work engages surveillance will explore the cultural and political implications of sousveillance, which tends to be discussed as empowering when manifest as a “taking-back” of cameras or the rising-up of “little brother,” but which also unfolds in an era of increased self-surveillance, encouraged by both the government and the culture of participatory and “transparent” media."
