"Recorders is a solo show from ambitious Mexican-Canadian electronic artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, which showcases two world premieres and four UK premieres revealing his ongoing interest in misusing surveillance and biometric technology to create platforms for participation. At once playful and ominous, his work questions utopian attitudes towards interactivity and virtual identity. He is an anarchic whistleblower of the sophisticated devices that control and construct us today. The highlight of this solo show will be the new commission People on People, which will turn the gallery space into one of the world's most advanced scanners, using high-resolution surveillance cameras and custom-made face recognition software."
Relationship with technology. Everything we did was now part of a database.
