\"in\"\"In the Dark<\/strong><\/em> (2003)<\/p>\n

Concept<\/em>
\nThe use of automatic means in order to obtain information, in the current process of recording and control, does not involve that the system lacks a subjective intention and therefore can also manipulate the information it deals with.\u00a0 The mechanical monitoring devices, at local level – street videocamaras \u2013 or at planetary level – airplanes controled by video cameras or spy satellites \u2013 induce to us to detach controllers from the machine that they control, placing them in the comfortable dark from where to exert its function better.<\/p>\n

Project<\/em>
\nThe telepresence enabled by monitoring systems is not innocent, it exists a clear intentionality and concrete economic, political, surveillance or military subjects which eventually decide where cameras must be placed the camera, in what direction their cone of vision must be directed, what and for how long they must survey.<\/p>\n
