| description | Janet Dees, SITE's Thaw Curatorial Fellow, will investigate the theme of surveillance in contemporary art, connecting it to the work of Hasan Elahi. The theme of surveillance has garnered substantial attention from artists concerned with the loss of personal privacy after 9/11. However, the idea of watching and being watched has played a steady, if less obvious role in contemporary art since video cameras and feed-back loop technology became more accessible in the mid -1960’s. |
