Surveillance Technologies in Performance

As systems of military, state, and corporate surveillance have become increasingly ubiquitous facets of contemporary life, artists around the world have employed drones, CCTV cameras, GPS tracking systems, medical surveillance equipment, and a host of other commercially available surveillance technologies as representational tools with which to critique and reimagine the social and political landscape of contemporary surveillance society. This special issue of IJPADM seeks to analyse and catalogue practical strategies for making art and performance work with and about surveillance. Surveillance art practices include the use of surveillance techniques and technologies to create interactive performance installations, industrial/electronic music, street performance and other public art works, subversive architectural design, tools for political protest and activism, performance experiments with drones and biometric surveillance, as well as more traditional film, dance, and theater works.
