Do the technologies of surveillance increase our safety, or is it just “Security Theatre”? What are the future implications of the data-trace left by a new generation brought up to share their personal life on Facebook? What’s the hidden price of the free online services we use? Many interesting contemporary topics discussed in the post-screening discussion by artists whose work features in the “Beyond Surveillance” collection of artist films. Jamie Wyld chairs the discussion with curator Manu Luksch and artists David Valentine and Paolo Cirio.
