Conspiracy Dwellings: Surveillance in Contemporary Art brings
together nine illustrated essays by theorists and art practitioners
about artworks made in the midst of conflict or from the position
of commentary and critique in topics that span from the 70s to the
present day. The authors Anthony Downey, Christine Eyene, Liam
Kelly, Verena Kyselka, Robert Knifton, Maciej Ozog, Outi Remes,
Paula Roush, Matthew Shaul and Pam Skelton consider the practical
and theoretical status of surveillance: its impact on urban space,
ethics, citizenship, civic liberties, conflict and resistance as
well as strategies of counter-surveillance that propose new
spectatorial positions, individual empowerment, increased
interactivity and social networking.Artists discussed include John
Aiken, Willie Doherty, Gavin Jantjes, Verena Kyselka, Rafael
Lozano-Hemmer, Jill Magid, Gundula Schulze-Eldowy and Artur
Zmijewski, representing international issues and perspectives from
England, Germany, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Poland and South
Africa.Today, in post 9/11 times of economic difficulties and
political uncertainly, the subject of patriotism, freedom and
democratic rights are once again high on the agenda, raising
questions such as where do we draw the line-how far does
surveillance have to go before it worries us-and at what point is
the citizen regarded as a threat to the state?
