nostalgia or innovation?
Is smart surveillance technology really about innovation, or is it a trojan horse for conservative nostalgia?
Rooted in the American Southwest, "Politics of the Grid" explores the parallels between Las Vegas pageantry and smart wall technology propaganda. Told from the perspective of two Las Vegas showgirls, this darkly satirical dance/theatre work investigates ways in which companies, governments, and communities buy into false narratives about the promise of smart surveillance technologies.
