Nisbet, N., 2004. Resisting Surveillance: Identity and Implantable Microchips. Leonardo 37, 211–214.
In this essay from 2004, Nancy Nisbet addresses how surveillance is being used by centralized databases with the contemporary concerns of personal security and the use of technological developments to solve them. It also introduces us to Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) and the potential that comes with it. From tracking individuals to its use as a key in different applications. The installation ‘POP! GOES THE WEASE’ challenges its visitors to take an active part in experimenting RFID and to question on their own identity and free will. The installation also displays the documentation in the form of a video of the process of getting chipped in which the artist had gone through.
Mann, S., 2003. Existential Technology: Wearable Computing Is Not the Real Issue! Leonardo 36, 19–25.
In this essay, Steve Mann focuses on how surveillance and technology that is used to monitor individuals are linked to a chain of power where accountability is often dissolved and hard to be questioned. It is also a documentation of what the author calls as In(ter)ventions within a project that he has developed for the last 30 years, ‘Existential Technology’. It is a set of artworks, inventions, performances, …, where he questions privacy and identity. He uses these experiments to create a different understanding of self-determination and destiny control.
