Firewalls: The Individual in a Maximum Security Society
Monday, October 4, 6:30 PM (details below)
Security is no longer a global issue exclusively. It’s now local. What does this imply? What are the technologies of detection and deterrence, what are the implications of risk-profiling and prediction? In the course of this discussion, we will explore the permissibility of firewalls, the manufacturing of homelands (both abroad and in the U.S.), information flows, power bunkers, and the erotics of surveillance technology.
Panelists:
Timothy Druckrey, independent curator and critic, writer on media history, representation and ideologies of technology
Andrew Hultkrans, former editor-in-chief of BookForum; author of a forthcoming book on surveillance in America
Leora Maltz, Ph.D. candidate in contemporary art at Harvard, dissertation on concepts of home in post-apartheid South Africa
Julia Scher, multimedia artist
Moderator:
Antoine Picon, Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, author of forthcoming book on digital culture and its urban and architectural aspects.
