In chapter three, Michael Rush points out an artist David Goldenberg video of projected images secluded space of audience members from surveillance cameras. Act of voyuerism is prominent in these type of video installations author states “surveillance, a type of spying, has interested artist and fascists alike since the birth of video technology” which is interesting take on intrusive content. Made to feel uncomfortable about the idea of always being watched similar to the Truman show starring Jim Carrey. Where lives in a made up world created by other people and continuously monitor him all through out his life. But with meddling involved.
I decided to do this theme because that is what I’m constantly hearing all day for the past weeks. So why not make some art of this situation. The poster colors China flags withing the spray is where it was started. And I changed the mask into a dis-morphed United states flag. Using a very generic Asian face from the internet because people are freaking about or reacting in racial profiling manor. And calling this virus what is and that is a racist virus. And I chose to use a disinfecting spray because people are buying large amounts of this. And it also references to how some Americans view Asian people as zombies, pests, or the cause of reason for the spread of this virus. Which is far from the truth.
