Essay
Project Description
Hasan Elahi
Add Project to My Artbox
   
Tracking Transience: The Orwell Project is a self-surveillance project. A former subject of an intensive FBI investigation post 9-11, Hasan Elahi develops a network device, GPS tracker, and website that make his exact location continuously available to anyone with access to the Internet. Tracking Transience: The Orwell Project builds on a series of installations, performances, and websites that use Elahi's self-surveillance to critique contemporary investigative techniques. A second innovation in this work is its embrace of surveillance for its subject's own protection; Elahi has protected himself from unwanted scrutiny by making his entire life and whereabouts publicly accessible.
