Governments and corporations are using technology to exploit us. Their abuses of power threaten our freedoms and the very things that make us human.

Periscope is just one of a suite of emerging technologies used to circumvent copyright, access, and distribution restrictions. All of these technologies contain user-friendly interfaces, branding, and marketing efforts that reject the technical difficulty of previous circumvention technologies to position themselves instead as user-friendly computing tools. Some of these technologies, like VPNs, DNS proxies, and IP maskers, utilize the geographical ambiguity of the internet to bypass geofences and access content authorized to users in different locales. Others, such as Periscope, Ustream, and Vine, provide mobile users with live video publish-ing tools, allowing them to become hosts of original and copyrighted content that can be streamed across geographically agnostic platforms. All of these tools, however, reflect the tension emerging as digital platforms make the production, consumption, and distribution of video content exponentially easier for corporations and consumers alike.

Auprès des autistes, Deligny a imaginé une « mémoire en quelque sorte réfractaire à la domestication symbolique, quelque peu aberrante, et qui se laisse frapper par ce qui ne veut rien dire, si on entend par frapper ce qui fait empreinte ». J’aime cette idée d’une mémoire « quelque peu aberrante ». L’aberration, c’est libérateur.

When Google introduced its Street View technology in 2007, by taking panoramic photographs of ordinary street scenes around the globe, it brought us one step closer to the dystopian reality of universal surveillance. In response to Google’s roving camera, some people have staged street-side performances in hopes of being photographed and uploaded online. We think of these performances as contemporary iterations of the historical performance genre known as the tableau vivant: “living images” that resist biopolitical control by “performing imperceptibility.” Drawing upon Rosi Braidotti’s nomadic ethics and Jon McKenzie’s general theory of performance, we argue that the tableau vivant staged for Street View cameras subvert the dividuation of control societies by affirming, through their affective intensity, the possibility of enduring as a subject.

Conventional maps of election results can give a misleading picture of the popular support that candidates have because population is highly non-uniform and equal areas on a map may not correspond to equal numbers of voters.
