Panopticon
Panopticon asks about our relatonship with the omnipresent surveillance that we accept as a given circumstance. How do we encounter social media, online shopping and the internet in general when every click can be monitored? Is the abandonement of all of thistogether a solution - or is it inescapably anchored in our society already?
