Shadow Stalker / Lynn Hershman Leeson (US)
This project is part of the CyberArts 2020 exhibition at the OK.
Invisible surveillance deprives people of their civil rights as specially developed algorithms and data mining systems define people by race, economic factors, or gender. Lynn Hershman Leeson believes there is an urgent need to expose these tactics in order to stop the global damage they cause. Her work Shadow Stalker presents a film that sketches the history of predictive policing, digital identity theft, and the dangers of data mining. In the interactive part of the installation, visitors’ “digital shadows” are made public – comprising personal information generated in real time that can be retrieved from internet databases via an email address alone.
