3x3x6: Control Strategies and Surveillance Art

Through the a-prospective nature that defines the control system, there is a shift from biopolitics to psycho power — a force capable of infiltrating and interven- ing in processes. This transition operates through sensitive interfaces, which ac- tively engage with bodies and in relation to them, transforming heterotopic spac- es into arenas of action and interaction. Data mining, emerging from interaction with these interfaces, unveils individual and collective behaviour patterns. Con- trol also reconfigures the viewer, who, by interacting with the sensitive interface, transforms into a user. Among the various encroachments highlighted by surveil- lance studies, the approach proposed by surveillance art offers critical alterna- tives to the dominant applications of surveillance technologies.
