The exhibition Counter/Surveillance traces the historical roots of surveillance devices and methods, and the Cold War dynamics that shaped and spread them. The exhibit juxtaposes surveillance methods with modern technologies such as facial recognition, data mining, and phone tracking. These technologies, often perceived as novel, have deep roots in the history of detection, spying, and countermeasures that have influenced divisions among nations, classes, and races. This episode focuses on the work of a variety of artists including Ken Gonzales-Day and Liat Segal, who examine and critique surveillance through their work at the Wende exhibit.
