Dr. Cahill’s talk explores contemporary artworks in Canada that address the technologies and structures of surveillance. Specifically, in this presentation she discusses a variety of creative practices that grapple with the ways in which security and surveillance participate in ongoing histories of colonial capitalism and empire-building. As part of her larger project, The Art & Surveillance Project, this talk engages with the potential of art and creativity as unique methodologies that trouble and reframe the expectations of surveillance technologies and their applications in reinforcing and maintaining Canada as a settler state.
