For today’s class I am looking at how technology is adapted into the praxis of Western culture, and the motivations that lay behind the use of particular technologies. Surveillance, and Sousveillance will be the focus of my discussion that investigates how artists are responding to this particular technology, and incorporating it into their artistic practice.
