Key Hole

By Corrie Tse and Kristin O'Friel

keyholekeyhole2

The ubiquitary nature of surveillance in our lives produces a complex hierarchy of monitorial roles. The installation aims to investigate this framework of control and address surveilling dynamics. The observer is required to engage as a participant and experience the dynamics of the installation’s system, to actively view and passively be viewed, becoming the authority as well as the subject. Their sense of self and placement is dislocated, alternating between roles, enabling an evaluation of their relationship. The participant can assess how remote surveillance data collection informs about and defines the “other”.
