Pan/Tilt/Zoom - Wrong Biennial Pavilion

Hey ya’ll just realized we’d not posted this to here yet, so I thought I’d bounce it along…

Pan-Tilt-Zoom
Feb 15 - March 1
https://www.ptz.live/

Pan-Tilt-Zoom is a web based pavilion, part of The Wrong Biennale. It takes place inside a locked room in the ATS department, and the only way of accessing it is via https://www.ptz.live/. Users have control over the camera (pan, tilt, and zoom) in order to attend the exhibition. The physical body is erased, it’s no longer useful. These are works subjected to a field of vision given by the electronic image.

11 artists present their work on small screens to recall the unfolding of the point of view and to resort to other ocular perceptions. The exhibition arises as a situation of permanent visibility, using an artifact of political technology, which is transformed into a device of voyeurism and telepresence for those eyes that need artificial vision. The eye-camera is subjected to a device, constantly streaming an image that is oftentimes not being observed by any person: it is being transmitted to a machine and not to an observer. By whom are we being watched?

We have created an around-the-clock accessible commons within a private institution, contingent that no bodies may enter unmediated—an online commons exclusive to the surveilling gaze.
