\nPolitics of the Panoramic: Spectacle, Surveillance, Resistance
\nFriday, February 24, 9:30 AM\u201312:00 PM

\nThe techniques and apparatus of surveillance and the panoptic gaze have played a provocative role in art of the last fifty years; from the peephole voyeurism of Marcel Duchamp\u2019s \u00c9tant donn\u00e9s<\/em>, Bruce Nauman\u2019s video corridor installations, to a more recent wave of new media artists who examine the ever-expanding regimes of digital surveillance in the 21st century. This paper will examine the work of British-born, Seattle-based artist James Coupe, who uses advanced digital technologies to explore the public and private implications of surveillance culture. Coupe\u2019s upcoming project, On the Observing of the Observer of the Observers<\/em>, is a site-specific installation of CCTV cameras on a small liberal arts college campus, located in a city which is itself monitored by an elaborate municipal CCTV network. Operating at the intersection of the virtual, the cinematic, and the panoptic, On the Observing of the Observer of the Observers<\/em> will pose a range of ethical and political questions about the encounter between the spectators and subjects of surveillance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"http:\/\/jamescoupe.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thumbnail-for-excerpts\/tfe_no_thumb.png\" "\\"\\"")
