THE SILENCE OF SURVEILLANCE
Art, Politics and Big Data in the new era of techno-polarity. Pro-Tech vs Anti-Tech is likely to be a new axis on the political compass in the next century. Will decentralised currency pave the way for the Network State? Is the Surveillance Capitalist data supply chain stealing your agency? Is Neo-Feudalism emerging as an economic condition superseding capitalism’s broadest definitions? Is avant-garde hyper-posting the cultural expression of this Neo-Feudalism? Can democracy co-exist with the growing power of the tech platform elite? Are you accelerating into the bright sun, or are you escaping to a cabin in the woods? Innovation and Disruption vs Freedom and Revolution. Which side are you on?
