Massive Attack, Mass Surveillance, and the Panopticon
Massive Attack dares to say something in a performance. What a beautiful thing. Surveillance via Flock cameras, Ring, AI, etc. is kinda spooky. Blob tracking, Andy Warhol, and Noah Dillon all have their hand in aestheticizing our spooky world.

0:18 - Facial recognition performance
0:55 - The death of privacy
2:22 - Hypereal consequences
3:19 - Art serves as a very important mirror
4:11 - The cameras you can't escape
5:03 - The rules no longer exist
6:02 - Home invasion
6:11 - Recession art
6:57 - A lot of art is not challenging us
8:00 - Lady Gaga's Swine during Artpop
9:07 - Surveillance art and digital critique
10:30 - Why you should care about your data and resisting the pantopticon
