Sousveillance - The Art of Inverse Surveillance - Conference at Aarhus University, February 6-8 2009

This week, Århus, Denmark, plays host to Sousveillance – The Art of Inverse Surveillance.

The conference will be held in conjunction with two digital art exhibitions in the city of Århus (one at ARoS and another at Skive Art Museum) and aims to create a platform for sharing and discussing the topic of surveillance, privacy and control of information, analyzing different creative, artistic and political strategies to produce fluid zones of interventions, both in the urban space and on the net. Main focus is on networking practices and urban actions that contribute to criticize the concept of surveillance, propriety of data and information, showing new activists and visionary strategies to move society toward more inclusive modes of production and sharing knowledge.

Exhibited works include outdoor interventions by Telekommunisten‘s Dmytri Kleiner, and The Space Hijackers.
