The exhibition installation Optical LIVE examines methods and systems of surveillance as both a technological infrastructure and spatial condition, examining how it fragments, reconstructs, and redefines our understanding of identity and space. Through a series of model instruments and projection installations, the exhibition deconstructs the way surveillance is measured, experienced, and interpreted through the act of observing and being observed. By conjoining the phenomena of contemporary technical surveillance infrastructure with a series of speculative disjunctions, the exhibition situates surveillance not only as a mechanism of image information data but as a spatial and cultural complexion. It invited an architectural rethinking of how surveillance as an integral system, interface, and operable condition can affect how we inhabit, perceive, and design space.
