Sousveillance
The Art of Inverse Surveillance
--------------------------------------------------------
Conference, public interventions and concert
February 8th - 9th, 2009, Aarhus University
http://www.digitalurbanliving.dk/sousveillance/
--------------------------------------------------------
The event is presented by: Digital Urban Living & Digital Aesthetics
Research Center.
Curated by: Tatiana Bazzichelli and Lars Bo Løfgreen
Supported by Videnssamfundet and the Italian Culture Institute of
Copenhagen.
In partnership with Skive Art Museum, ARoS and Studenterhus
// Concept //
With the growing spread of pervasive digital technologies the public
urban space has become open for new forms of both observation and
surveillance.
Moving away from cameras and directional microphones, face- and voice
recognition, the pervasive technologies offer not only the ability to
gather and organise huge amounts of dissimilar data, but as well on
grounds of these to predict probable patterns of behaviour. Commercial
mobile variants of Google Maps, YouTube or Facebook are by far the only
ones to make use of these possibilities. Urban games, locative art,
flashmob art, pervasive games etc. all represent new forms of
observational and aesthetic experiments with how we through technology
perceive and make use of the urban space itself.
Sousveillance, original French, as well as inverse surveillance are
terms coined by Steve Mann (Toronto, Canada) to describe the recording
of an activity from the perspective of a participant. "Surveillance"
denotes the act of watching from above, whereas "sousveillance" denotes
bringing the practice of observation down to human level (ordinary
people doing the watching, rather than higher authorities or
architectures doing the watching).
The conference will be held in conjunction with two digital art
exhibitions in the city of Århus (one at ARoS and another at Skive Art
Museum) and aims to create a platform for sharing and discussing the
topic of surveillance, privacy and control of information, analyzing
different creative, artistic and political strategies to produce fluid
zones of interventions, both in the urban space and on the net. Main
focus is on networking practices and urban actions that contribute to
criticize the concept of surveillance, propriety of data and
information, showing new activists and visionary strategies to move
society toward more inclusive modes of production and sharing knowledge.
