Beyond Surveillance
Gallery2
10 March - 10 March 2011

Film Screening
Thursday 10 March, 6pm

Admission FREE

Originally planned to screen last December, but cancelled due to the heavy snowfall, Beyond Surveillance will be shown at this Thursday.

A collection of art works developed in response to & in counteraction against surveillance technologies, the film will be followed by a panel of speakers discussing the consequences of & alternatives to surveillance in our daily life.

As surveillance technologies become more ubiquitous - from CCTV to data-mining on websites to mobile phones to Google streetcar - does it not become ever more important to consider the implications & to develop creative, radical responses, counteracting & reversing acts of surveillance?

Artist & curator Manu Luksch has selected several artists’ film & video works which explore differening aspects of re-activism to surveillance technologies. Artists include David Valentine, Caspar Below, The Bureau of Inverse Technology & Michelle Teran.
