DESCRIPTION
“The Texas Border” and “AZ: move and get shot” sont deux œuvres d’art numérique qui explorent le phénomène de la surveillance sur Internet effectué par des civils à la frontière entre le Mexique et les États-Unis à partir de plateformes mises en place par les autorités américaines. Beaucoup de ces plateformes en ligne sont apparues lors du développement des réseaux sociaux dont la structure a été adoptée comme une alternative moins chère et plus efficace pour surveiller la frontière. Ainsi, l’activité de loisir est devenue un outil pour la militarisation de la société civile. Cette présentation exposera le processus de recherche derrière les deux œuvres d’art et analysera l’évolution de certaines de ces plateformes internet depuis leur création jusqu’à nos jours.

Border Watch communities: RISE AND FALL
1 2
The MINUTEMAN PROJECT, launched in Arizona in 2005, spawned a major movement, propellingthe rise of other nativist extremist organizations across the U.S.
The number of “nativist extremist” groups fell by almost half last year, with much of the vigilante anti-immigration movement collapsing under the weight of bad press, organizational disarray, andthe co-optation of the movement’s concerns by state legislatures passing severe immigration laws.
