It promotes innovative and transdisciplinary work on surveillance, including work that bridges different academic disciplines,<br \/>\ndevelops the understanding of surveillance in wider society, and informs information policy and political debate.<\/p>\n<p>As a registered charitable company, the SSN is committed to the free distribution of scholarly products, including the publication of Surveillance &#038; Society, the premier peer-reviewed journal of surveillance studies. Both the SSN and Surveillance &#038; Society support open access and encourage submission formats\u2014such as html, photographic, video and new media work\u2014that could not be published in conventional paper journals. To further this mandate, the SSN has created the Surveillance Studies Network Arts Fund, a bi-annual award that recognizes and publicly supports artwork centred on critical readings of surveillance. <\/p>\n<p>The selection committee is delighted to announce the winner of the inaugural Surveillance Studies Network Arts Fund Prize, James Coupe, for his work \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/jamescoupe.com\/?p=2339\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watchtower (A Machine for Living)<\/a>\u201d.
