Julia Scher Always There

"Always There, is the long awaited survey on the American artist Julia Scher. This timely work is a poignant reflection on contemporary cultures' obsession with surveillance and how it is rapidly invading our lives. The artist's installations and performances have always featured a complex relation to techno-social control, demonstrating our complicity in the proliferating technologies used to secretly investigate both our physical and virtual identities. The featured texts discuss how in the aftermath of 9-11, issues of surveillance, data harvesting and scopophilia have acquired a new meaning. Accompanying essays by Bill Horrigan, Andrew Hultkrans, Giovanni Intra, and others."Schneider, Caroline is the author of 'Julia Scher Always There' with ISBN 9780971119376 and ISBN 0971119376.
