Presentations on the theory and practice of surveillance and contemporary protest art, by graduate students in the ITP program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.
The presenters' talks will be grouped into four panels, to be moderated by their Professor, Marisa Olson (Curator at Large, Rhizome), on topics ranging from voyeurism and play to intervention and networks of control. These panels will consist of both artist talks and critical essays, and audience members will be invited to give feedback on a few works in progress.
