Description
Artist Statement:
"Increased use of sensor technologies, big data, algorithms, surveillance, monitoring and tracking question what it means to be human in terms of privacy, individuality, authority, and the State. Using robotized voices, enhanced visual processing developed by MIT’s CSAIL Lab, and haunting imagery issues of surveillance are explored in a dialogue between law enforcement and a single individual. A siddhi is mystical clairaudience and clairvoyance, powers now enabled due to enhanced technologies."
