City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1Y0kXXT Presented by the Goethe-Institut Part of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival This project juxtaposes four new images of spectacle and surveillance from seemingly unrelated contexts to explore the question of information and state power. From the hidden anti-Soviet surveillance infrastructures of the Cold War in Berlin and Beijing respectively to near-identical subway cars with awe-inspiring photographs of the “dear leaders” and a Microsoft commercial announcing the availability of new security updates in Pyongyang and Berlin respectively, it seems that we are living in an information society where the more we see, the less we know.
