Reading Response 11

Marie Sester's artwork consisted of projects that involved architecture and the issues of surveillance and propaganda. The core of her works does involve human interaction and how they react with the messages that are being told. A lot of the reactions tend to be either uneasiness and escape or acceptance with a small performance of the audience themselves.

I thought her work was interesting because it reminded me a lot of the works I saw from my Time Based class. It especially reminded me of the Surveillance Camera Players because their work involves the already built-in system of cameras all over the city. I've never really thought about surveillance cameras outside of stores, in which I would usually point at them or wave out of curiosity if there was really a person on the other side.
