Art, Data, and Surveillance: A Colloquium

In this conversation on Thursday, Oct. 12, Simone Browne, associate professor in the Department of African and African Diaspora Studies and research director of Critical Surveillance Inquiry with Good Systems at University of Texas at Austin, and artist Mimi Ọnụọha will examine how artists have critically grappled with the hidden infrastructures of surveillance today, and explore the consequences of what is made visible through data. Harvard University Professor of Anthropology Gabriella Coleman will moderate, and a reception will follow in the related exhibition, "Surveillance: From Vision to Data," at Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments. This hybrid lecture is free and open to the public. Free event parking is available at the 52 Oxford Street Garage. This event is presented in collaboration with Harvard University's Department of the History of Science, Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
