security against security

I-R.A.S.C.
The device developed by U.R.A. / FILOART offers the public reliable protection against governmental security measures (and those of other surveillance agencies). The I-R.A.S.C. offers security against security, and in so doing reveals the discrepancy in power between the state and the individual. The I-R.A.S.C. not only demonstrates systems of interaction, developed specifically for surveillance purposes between humans and machines, but also between machines themselves. This absurd accumulation of technology is symptomatic, for although the security measures are supposedly for the good of the people, the individual is considered less and less in current security concepts.

The I-R.A.S.C. is an infrared device, which protects against infrared surveillance cameras. It can be made by anybody; no special skills are required. The device radiates infrared light disrupting the reception of infrared surveillance cameras. A sphere of light covers the face of the person under surveillance and as the interaction is invisible to the human eye (at a frequency between 780nm and 1mm), the individual is unaware of what is going on i.e. they don't see the infrared rays emitted by either the surveillance camera or the I-R.A.S.C.

During the exhibition the device can be tested and video material with live footage viewed. Further video and printed material provide information on the panel discussion "Protection against Protection - Surveillance and Disciplinary Measures in the Public Space", which was part of the I-R.A.S.C. Project at the Kunsthaus Tacheles in Berlin.

This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Warm up of the Stuttgarter Filmwinter and in collaboration with wand 5 e.V.

CALL FOR CHAPTERS

Proposals Submission Deadline: 7/15/2009

Full Chapters Due: 9/15/2009

ICTs for Mobile and Ubiquitous Urban Infrastructures:
Surveillance, Locative Media and Global Networks

A book edited by Dr. Rodrigo Firmino, Dr. Fabio Duarte and Dr. Clovis Ultramari
Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUCPR) , Curitiba, Brazil

Part I – Surveillance: the intention here is to discuss the technological and social implications of such instruments that permeate our daily life, and which permit, for those who control it, a hypothetical total control of the space.

- Preliminary reference:
LYON, D. (2004). “Surveillance Technologies: Trends and Social Implications” in Barrie Stevens (ed.) The Security Economy, Paris, OECD. Available at: http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/14/17/16692437.pdf.

Part II – Mobile and Locative Media: chapters here are expected to discuss the technological and social implications of such instruments that give us the freedom of spatial mobility and the possibility of creating and recreating places.

- Preliminary reference:
LEMOS, A. (2008). Mobile Communication and new sense of places: a critique of spatialization in cyberculture. Galáxia (PUCSP), v. 16, pp. 91-108. Available at: http://www.andrelemos.info/artigos/mobilecommunication_galaxia.pdf.

Part III – Global Networks: the focus here is global networks of signs, values and ideologies, which break down the social and political boundaries of territories. The challenge in this part is to discuss both the roles of the global flows of information, social and cultural values, and the infrastructures which have been built as a global technological network.
