Tactical Media @ ITP - NYU
Professor: Marisa Olson

In anticipation of Friday's class and the artist talk by Bill Brown, of the Surveillance Camera Players, you might want to look around at some other surveillance-related works. I'd definitely look up works by Julia Scher, Andrea Fraser, Ken Goldberg, Vito Acconci, Jill Magid, Cornford & Cross, Trevor Paglen, the Center for Tactical Magic, the Bureau of Inverse Technology, and Hasan Elahi. There really are SO many more. Feel free to bookmark some of your favorites, in del.icio.us, with our class tag: ITP_Tactical_Media

I'll be interested in discussing the aestheticization of surveillance versus its more tactical uses, vis a vis Foucault's notion of panopticism and our ongoing discussions about the aestheticization of politics vs the politicization of aesthetics, etc...

If you'd like to share links with the class, please tag del.icio.us bookmarks with "ITP_Tactical_Media," so that we can all see them here:

I suggest picking up an RSS feed for that page, and this one, if you've not already done so.

Thanks!
