So you'd have to\Nlocate yourself to the geography within Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.18,0:03:41.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that map. These days, you take out that\Nmagic phone, you press that little button, Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.80,0:03:45.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you become the center of your own\Nmap.

You know it's, it's a\Ntotally different concept that we're Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.00,0:03:57.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,running into now and for some reason this\Nlooks like this got caught up over here.

When I first started this Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.87,0:05:15.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,project, people would be like: "Oh no no,\Ndon't show up at my house!" And now it's Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.71,0:05:19.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like - You know, it's not like if you're\Ndon't, if you're not on social media, if Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.14,0:05:23.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're not connected, like people think of\Nyou are some, some weirdo or something. Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.56,0:05:30.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what happens here is that this thing of\Nlike continuously, continuously Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.28,0:05:34.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,monitoring myself and continuously\Nchecking in ... You know, now a lot of Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.30,0:05:37.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people are like: "I don't get this. This\Nlooks like my Instagram feed. What's the Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.13,0:05:42.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,big deal?" But then this concept of self-\Nsurveillance or this, this watching Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.85,0:05:48.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ourselves or monitoring ourselves for the\Nsake of someone else, whether it be your Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.98,0:05:52.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Twitter followers or in my case the FBI\N... I mean, this is something that's Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.81,0:05:58.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,become so commonplace. And each of us are\Ncreating our own archives. So a lot of Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.12,0:06:01.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the shifts that's taking place culturally\N- I think it's really important to think Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.22,0:06:04.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about this, because, you know, it's like,\Nlike this bed. I mean, you're not really Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.58,0:06:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure what happened in that bed. You're\Nnot really sure who I was there with. Or Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.44,0:06:11.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you see these like random train stations.\NThere are always these empty spaces. Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.79,0:06:14.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's like ... no one's ever there, and\Nevery now and then you might see some Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.80,0:06:18.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people. But they just, they just tend to\Nbe incidental to the image. Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.10,0:06:21.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which is kind of interesting when you look at \Nlike the "no photography" or the Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.26,0:06:22.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"ask permission Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.26,0:06:25.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of people that are in there" Which is\Nreally amazing to think about. That like Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.69,0:06:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how many cameras are there in every given\Nmoment? Actually in this room, right now, Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.79,0:06:37.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're at least twice as many cameras as\Nthere are people.

And so all of these things,\Nall these bits and pieces that I'm Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.09,0:06:59.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,archiving of my life. So every few moments\Nanother photo gets put up and it gets Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.67,0:07:03.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tagged with the geo tag of where it was.\NAgain this is something that's so common Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.48,0:07:08.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,today but 12, 13, 14 years ago this was\Ncompletely just like: "What are you doing Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.34,0:07:11.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and why are you doing this?" Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.56,0:07:16.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And ...\Nsorry ...

If you get into trouble, give us Dialogue: 0,0:09:17.49,0:09:20.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a call. We'll take care of it." So ever\Nsince then I would call my FBI agent, Dialogue: 0,0:09:20.67,0:09:24.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tell him where I was going, send him\Nphotos to all of these things, and thus Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.17,0:09:27.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's what this whole project started. In\Na ... I mean back then when I started this Dialogue: 0,0:09:27.54,0:09:30.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,project, shortly after 9/11, I mean, my\Nphone was like those old ... Remember Dialogue: 0,0:09:30.94,0:09:34.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those old Nokia 6600? Those like super\Nchunky ones and you had to hit the buttons Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.84,0:09:38.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like a whole bunch of times to send like\None text message across? And we should Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.16,0:09:41.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,call them smart phones back then. I mean,\Nthey're really not that smart, but Dialogue: 0,0:09:41.87,0:09:46.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they're kind of smart phones. Anyway. So\Nthis process of like sending all this Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.17,0:09:50.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,information to the FBI. I started telling\Nthem everything. And also at the same Dialogue: 0,0:09:50.23,0:09:53.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time by telling them everything I'm also\Ntelling them absoutely nothing because Dialogue: 0,0:09:53.57,0:09:58.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's just a wall of noise. And in that\Nnoise there is some signal and the ratio, Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.50,0:10:03.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the signal-to-noise ratio, is actually\Npretty skewed. It's pretty, it's pretty Dialogue: 0,0:10:03.75,0:10:07.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out of sync in that sense. Because it's,\Nit's difficult for the, for the viewer to Dialogue: 0,0:10:07.99,0:10:12.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know what they're looking at. So if you\Ndon't s–. That website, it's a, it's, it Dialogue: 0,0:10:12.02,0:10:16.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is an archaic website. I mean, it is\Ncompletely obsolete technologically, but Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.36,0:10:20.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more importantly, it's also one of these\Nthings, it's, it's intentionally user- Dialogue: 0,0:10:20.90,0:10:24.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unfriendly. It's not, you know,\Ninformation is not categorized in a way Dialogue: 0,0:10:24.65,0:10:27.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where, you know, "oh, I want to see this\Ndata this time". It's like, it's just, it Dialogue: 0,0:10:27.83,0:10:31.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just comes in it, whichever way it, the,\Nthe algorithm these days feels like Dialogue: 0,0:10:31.73,0:10:34.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,generating the, the info. So sometimes\Nyou might see a taco, then you might see Dialogue: 0,0:10:34.68,0:10:38.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the next one from Mexico City, then\NMexico City might go to like this place Dialogue: 0,0:10:38.64,0:10:41.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I took a flight from there to\NHouston. So you might get some images Dialogue: 0,0:10:41.64,0:10:44.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from Houston next. And then from Houston\Nyou might get some things from another Dialogue: 0,0:10:44.65,0:10:49.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,city in the back and forth. So it actually\Ntakes all these pathways various through Dialogue: 0,0:10:49.66,0:10:54.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it. So in this process I'm really, you\Nknow, it's, it's, I'm telling you Dialogue: 0,0:10:54.07,0:10:57.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything and nothing in this\Ncamouflage. In this, you know, thing of, Dialogue: 0,0:10:57.89,0:11:02.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like, you know, historic camouflage. Now\Nthe concept of camouflage particularly in Dialogue: 0,0:11:02.72,0:11:08.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,digital identity is really important.\NBecause historically, when you hear Dialogue: 0,0:11:08.15,0:11:13.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,camouflage, it's usually meant for, you\Nknow, warfare, battle, soldiers. And the Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.43,0:11:18.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,reason we have, the reason, camouflage\Nlooks at certain ways, because it was Dialogue: 0,0:11:18.50,0:11:23.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,designed to break the silhouette of the\Nbody of the soldier in the battlefield, Dialogue: 0,0:11:23.08,0:11:29.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the landscape of warfare. So this is\Nwhy, you know, certain trees look certain Dialogue: 0,0:11:29.70,0:11:33.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,colors and when you look, you know, it's\Nevery place you go, there's a different Dialogue: 0,0:11:33.41,0:11:40.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,war. Each, with each war, there's a\Ndifferent pattern, that, that's used. Now Dialogue: 0,0:11:40.22,0:11:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you look at the new camouflage, that\Nmost troops are wearing, particularly in Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.10,0:11:49.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the US, where I live, it's all pixeled,\Nit's all pixelized, you know, it's all, Dialogue: 0,0:11:49.24,0:11:54.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's all this, like, weirdly grayish,\Ngreenish color. I don't know if you've Dialogue: 0,0:11:54.25,0:12:00.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,noticed that color. But there's no trees\Nthat color anywhere. It's because it's Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.22,0:12:05.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not meant for blending into the landscape\Nanymore. It's no longer meant so the Dialogue: 0,0:12:05.61,0:12:11.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,soldier has to blend into the\Nbattlefield. The reason it's pixelized and Dialogue: 0,0:12:11.76,0:12:17.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's that grayish, greenish color is\Nbecause we no longer have a need for the Dialogue: 0,0:12:17.64,0:12:22.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,soldier to blend in to the battlefield,\Nthe physical battlefield. But what we want Dialogue: 0,0:12:22.80,0:12:30.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the soldier to be, so the enemy cannot\Ndistinguish the physical body of the Dialogue: 0,0:12:30.02,0:12:35.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,soldier in the noise and the night-vision\Ngoggles. That's why it's that color. Dialogue: 0,0:12:35.48,0:12:41.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's why it's that grayish green. So this\Nis a huge step. So we no longer, it's no Dialogue: 0,0:12:41.10,0:12:45.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,longer about the physical presence of the\Nbody in the, in the war field, in the, in Dialogue: 0,0:12:45.94,0:12:51.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,warfare. But it's now about the, it's now\Nwhere the, the digital body, that the Dialogue: 0,0:12:51.95,0:12:58.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,physical body is intentionally\Ncamouflaged and mistaken for a digital Dialogue: 0,0:12:58.03,0:13:04.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,artifact. It's that pixelization, that we've forced basically in Dialogue: 0,0:13:04.03,0:13:07.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,warfare. And a lot of work, that I do,\Nwith a lot of, a lot of the art, that I Dialogue: 0,0:13:07.12,0:13:11.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,come up with, comes out of warfare and\Nsuch. And I'll show you a little. But this Dialogue: 0,0:13:11.16,0:13:14.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a really important piece, that I\Nwanted to talk to you about. Because this Dialogue: 0,0:13:14.37,0:13:20.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was taken from one of the earliest samples\Nof what the US Army uses. And it was done Dialogue: 0,0:13:20.17,0:13:24.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the, at the base, at Natick, which is\Nthe, outside of Boston. This is where a Dialogue: 0,0:13:24.64,0:13:27.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lot of the camouflage in the US is\Ndesigned. It's the US Army's fashion Dialogue: 0,0:13:27.98,0:13:32.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,design department. Though they would never\Ncall it the fashion design department. But Dialogue: 0,0:13:32.64,0:13:36.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is where they design all the\Ncamouflage and the, and the outfits. And Dialogue: 0,0:13:36.43,0:13:40.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so this sample was taken ... At first, it\Njust looks like a modernist grid. Various Dialogue: 0,0:13:40.59,0:13:43.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,photographs and such. But what they\Nreally are, is ... I took the old sample Dialogue: 0,0:13:43.02,0:13:49.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I blew it out and took out each pixel\Nand replaced each pixel with a photograph Dialogue: 0,0:13:49.52,0:13:53.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a historic or current point of\Nconflict. So there's these two images Dialogue: 0,0:13:53.48,0:13:58.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right in the middle. If you look. The two\Nblue images over there, kind of in the Dialogue: 0,0:13:58.30,0:14:05.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,middle to the bottom, those are in North\NKorea. Those are north the 38th parallel. Dialogue: 0,0:14:05.91,0:14:09.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That could technically, north the\Nparallel. So you're actually in North Dialogue: 0,0:14:09.07,0:14:13.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Korean territory, but at Panmunjom.\NThere's actually six buildings and three Dialogue: 0,0:14:13.15,0:14:18.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,... And all six are built directly across\Nthe border. And, you know, it's kind of Dialogue: 0,0:14:18.39,0:14:22.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unpractical to share half the building\Nwith another country. So three of the Dialogue: 0,0:14:22.48,0:14:25.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,buildings belong to South Korea, three of\Nthem belong to North Korea. So these were Dialogue: 0,0:14:25.95,0:14:29.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the South Korean buildings. But physically\Nin North Korean territory. Similar like Dialogue: 0,0:14:29.58,0:14:33.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that plate of ham that you see right\Nbelow it, you know, it's a Spanish ham. Dialogue: 0,0:14:33.11,0:14:37.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And being a good Muslim, I really do\Nenjoy my Spanish ham. But this was, this Dialogue: 0,0:14:37.82,0:14:43.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was photographed in Guernica, the site of\Na brutal massacre. Shortly ... you know, Dialogue: 0,0:14:43.05,0:14:45.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so similarly, so each of the, every\Nsingle one of these images, they might Dialogue: 0,0:14:45.79,0:14:50.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seem like these generic or bland images,\Nbut they're all historic conflicts or Dialogue: 0,0:14:50.88,0:14:54.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,current conflicts. There's, there's an\Nimage in the, in the upper right hand, in Dialogue: 0,0:14:54.38,0:14:58.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the upper left hand corner, right there,\Nand it's, it's of an office building with Dialogue: 0,0:14:58.86,0:15:05.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just a flag with three stripes going\Nacross.

And\Nthis was a drawing that I did for a Dialogue: 0,0:16:54.11,0:17:00.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,project a few years ago. And there's a,\Nthere's a congressional document.

So we Dialogue: 0,0:21:02.17,0:21:05.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,did some ballistics tests and we went\Nthrough some ideas and then, and then of Dialogue: 0,0:21:05.93,0:21:09.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,course, as I expected, they said: "No,\Nyou're crazy, there's no way we're doing Dialogue: 0,0:21:09.02,0:21:16.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this."

So in\Norder to deal with the customs issues Dialogue: 0,0:21:41.86,0:21:45.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of it, we figured, you\Nknow, what, let's just ship it, Dialogue: 0,0:21:45.85,0:21:50.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let's just have it built in Spain.

And then the Dialogue: 0,0:22:45.81,0:22:50.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,museum fortunately hired three former\NOlympians to do this. It was just Dialogue: 0,0:22:50.35,0:22:56.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unbelievable, watching these guys.

So in the Dialogue: 0,0:23:09.52,0:23:14.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,middle over here, this is Central\NAmerica, we have hit, we have invaded Dialogue: 0,0:23:14.43,0:23:18.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Central America so many times.

So it's kind of Dialogue: 0,0:23:27.71,0:23:32.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting, looking at this, this very\Nabstract concept of, of these invasions, Dialogue: 0,0:23:32.82,0:23:38.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these political, these types of political\Npolicies, that we have, and what the Dialogue: 0,0:23:38.20,0:23:43.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,physical manifestation of that, what that\Ndoes in a map. But what does that do to Dialogue: 0,0:23:43.23,0:23:46.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the physical geography?

So in this Dialogue: 0,0:28:27.25,0:28:30.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,case, I just, I was really interested in\Nwhat happens when, when you hyper- Dialogue: 0,0:28:30.14,0:28:34.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aestheticize that. And imagine if you had\Nx-ray vision. Imagine you had x-ray Dialogue: 0,0:28:34.15,0:28:37.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,vision. You could see right through this\Nwall. What would you see on the other of Dialogue: 0,0:28:37.15,0:28:41.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this wall? Well, this image, which\Nactually looks like a window pane. They're Dialogue: 0,0:28:41.96,0:28:47.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually six very large monitors and this\Nis, this functions as a see- Dialogue: 0,0:28:47.32,0:28:51.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,through wall. So you could actually see\Nthrough this wall. And just so, it just Dialogue: 0,0:28:51.18,0:28:55.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so happened that on the other side of the,\Nof the wall from this exhibition space Dialogue: 0,0:28:55.97,0:29:00.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was the Baltimore Police Department. So I\Nloved the idea of being able to watch the Dialogue: 0,0:29:00.26,0:29:04.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,police watching me watching them. And\Nwhen you notice that there's that, next in Dialogue: 0,0:29:04.65,0:29:06.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the blue light there's a little\Nsurveillance camera on top of their Dialogue: 0,0:29:06.60,0:29:10.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dumpster which really doesn't make any\Nsense to me why they would need a Dialogue: 0,0:29:10.71,0:29:13.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,surveillance camera over their dumpster.\NBut I just love this image of just this Dialogue: 0,0:29:13.98,0:29:17.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,constant reflecting back and forth and\Nwatching and watching and watching back. Dialogue: 0,0:29:17.30,0:29:20.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in the image you couldn't tell, you\Nknow, whether it was, whether you're Dialogue: 0,0:29:20.35,0:29:23.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,looking at a photograph or whether you're\Nlooking at a video or whether you're, you Dialogue: 0,0:29:23.94,0:29:27.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, it's just every now that you see\Nsome blurry lights move by or some of Dialogue: 0,0:29:27.57,0:29:31.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these figures. But really, you know, if\Nyou look at a lot of what machine vision, Dialogue: 0,0:29:31.90,0:29:34.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of the software, I mean, you know,\Nlike, you know, you see those things on Dialogue: 0,0:29:34.29,0:29:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the TV with all those people looking at\Nthose monitors. And that's, no, that's, Dialogue: 0,0:29:38.60,0:29:42.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's like the movies or that's like they\Nused for like fundraising. The real stuff Dialogue: 0,0:29:42.90,0:29:47.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is all machines looking at this stuff. And\Nit doesn't actually look that sexy at all. Dialogue: 0,0:29:47.39,0:29:51.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I love this idea of actually taking\Nthis image and, you know, seeing Dialogue: 0,0:29:51.94,0:29:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what can happen when it's\Naestheticized. Now similarly, you know, Dialogue: 0,0:29:56.30,0:29:59.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what happens when the form is\Naestheticized? This is the very Dialogue: 0,0:29:59.72,0:30:03.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,similar project at another location. But\Nthis is what you would see through the Dialogue: 0,0:30:03.23,0:30:11.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wall. And when you see this, I mean, your\Nbrain completely rejects this as a Dialogue: 0,0:30:11.05,0:30:17.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,surveillance image. But this is exactly\Nwhat happens right on the other side over Dialogue: 0,0:30:17.37,0:30:22.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there. So thinking about the idea of\Naesthetics and what surveillance looks Dialogue: 0,0:30:22.31,0:30:28.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like and at least, you know, growing up\Nin an American context, you know, so Dialogue: 0,0:30:28.92,0:30:33.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of the history of American\Nphotography comes from American painting Dialogue: 0,0:30:33.81,0:30:38.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or landscape painting. And the history of\Na lot of our landscape painting comes from Dialogue: 0,0:30:38.53,0:30:42.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Hudson River School, which is the\NNortheast and, you know, up north of New Dialogue: 0,0:30:42.45,0:30:47.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,York City and up the Hudson River. These\Ngorgeous grand vistas, often of these Dialogue: 0,0:30:47.97,0:30:54.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really large, you know, wide viewpoints,\Nof these very like subliminal, very like Dialogue: 0,0:30:54.21,0:30:59.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spiritual type of imagery. This very\Ngodlike imagery. Which is kind of Dialogue: 0,0:30:59.19,0:31:04.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting because in the way it is like\Ntrying to replicate this eye of God. Or if Dialogue: 0,0:31:04.36,0:31:06.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to look at it from the\Nperspective of surveillance, in which we Dialogue: 0,0:31:06.70,0:31:12.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,generally tend to think of surveillance\Nas a very post 9/11 or a very 21st century Dialogue: 0,0:31:12.66,0:31:17.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,concept. I mean, most of us did not use\Nthe word surveillance, say, you know, 20 Dialogue: 0,0:31:17.89,0:31:22.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,years ago, 30 years ago. That word was\Nnot as common. It certainly has become Dialogue: 0,0:31:22.33,0:31:27.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,incredibly common in our vocabulary very\Nrecently. But even though we tend to Dialogue: 0,0:31:27.33,0:31:32.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think of surveillance as a very post–, a\Nvery 21st century concept, this is Dialogue: 0,0:31:32.43,0:31:36.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something that's been embedded in our\Nhistory, in our brains for thousands of Dialogue: 0,0:31:36.51,0:31:41.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,years. Particularly when you look at those\Nearly paintings. And then God as the Dialogue: 0,0:31:41.57,0:31:49.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,original surveillance camera. You behaved\Nbecause God was watching. So it was very Dialogue: 0,0:31:49.18,0:31:55.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easy to replace this being above with a\Ncamera above. And that becomes so Dialogue: 0,0:31:55.22,0:31:59.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,normalized in our daily lives. I mean,\Nthink about it. How does Santa Claus know Dialogue: 0,0:31:59.62,0:32:04.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything about you? I mean, we were\Ntaught this since we were at such an Dialogue: 0,0:32:04.52,0:32:09.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,early point in life. We've ... So this\Nnormalization of surveillance, this Dialogue: 0,0:32:09.78,0:32:13.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,normalization. And also this, you know,\Nand ... You know, we don't think, we Dialogue: 0,0:32:13.64,0:32:18.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,never use the word surveillance when we're\Ntalking about God. Again you know, this Dialogue: 0,0:32:18.61,0:32:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aesthetics, the hyper-\Naestheticization or maybe, if you want to Dialogue: 0,0:32:21.94,0:32:26.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,call, I mean, this is not exactly a\Nstatusization. But, you know, in Dialogue: 0,0:32:26.27,0:32:31.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the idea of thinking about it. So, again,\Nthis relationship between the watched and Dialogue: 0,0:32:31.50,0:32:35.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,watcher. And, you know, another similar\Nproject and one that looks like when Dialogue: 0,0:32:35.58,0:32:40.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you break that frame of looking at ... of\Nthe format of surveillance and when you Dialogue: 0,0:32:40.36,0:32:43.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aestheticize the format, not only the\Nimagery of surveillance, but also the Dialogue: 0,0:32:43.81,0:32:48.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,format and how the surveillance is\Npresented. I mean, we rarely, we would Dialogue: 0,0:32:48.17,0:32:52.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,never, we wouldn't even think of this as a\Nsurveillance camera image. But that is Dialogue: 0,0:32:52.18,0:32:56.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,exactly what this is. That's another\Nsimilar piece. I just want to show you Dialogue: 0,0:32:56.39,0:32:59.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the context of this one. Because I want\Nto show you, but talk a little bit about Dialogue: 0,0:32:59.20,0:33:04.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the project that's going on on the right.\NAnd this image is ... So they look like Dialogue: 0,0:33:04.35,0:33:08.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these landmines. But they also look like\Nsatellites. I'm really interested in this Dialogue: 0,0:33:08.09,0:33:12.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,idea of like circumnavigation. I'm really\Ninterested in these things of, you know, Dialogue: 0,0:33:12.02,0:33:16.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,conceptually this project is telling you\Nearlier about. This is about telling you Dialogue: 0,0:33:16.32,0:33:21.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything and nothing simultaneously. But\Nin a similar way, I'm also really Dialogue: 0,0:33:21.12,0:33:25.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interested in this concept of Magellan and\Ncircumnavigation, where you go far enough Dialogue: 0,0:33:25.33,0:33:29.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to this side, you end up in the other.\NYou circle around the whole thing. Does Dialogue: 0,0:33:29.71,0:33:32.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that make sense, a little bit? So in the,\Nyou know, sometimes some people are so far Dialogue: 0,0:33:32.39,0:33:36.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the left, that they're actually very\Nmuch to the right and vice versa. So Dialogue: 0,0:33:36.91,0:33:40.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's this, the circular reasoning\Nthat keeps coming back and forth. And I'm Dialogue: 0,0:33:40.39,0:33:43.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really interested in this thing and ...\NThis could be a landmine, but Dialogue: 0,0:33:43.39,0:33:47.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this could also be a satellite. It's,\Nthere's these types. And then also at the Dialogue: 0,0:33:47.32,0:33:50.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,same time, like, this was, this is an\Nearlier project. But they also look like Dialogue: 0,0:33:50.94,0:33:54.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,selfie sticks. But then there's these,\Nlike, all these things coming out with Dialogue: 0,0:33:54.78,0:33:58.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these, like, these monitors sticking out\Nof each of ... This is pretty iPad. Well, Dialogue: 0,0:33:58.12,0:34:01.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually this installation was done\Nlater. But I mean, now it's like these Dialogue: 0,0:34:01.89,0:34:05.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tablets are like so common. And they're so\Neverywhere. But what ... These are 72 Dialogue: 0,0:34:05.62,0:34:09.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,monitors and all the images that I've\Nshared with the FBI and said to my FBI Dialogue: 0,0:34:09.14,0:34:13.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,agent, these are all being shown on all\Nthese monitors simultaneously. And you Dialogue: 0,0:34:13.48,0:34:19.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could get an idea of what you're looking\Nat. So in the same sense this project was Dialogue: 0,0:34:19.35,0:34:23.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,... This is only a part of ... This\None's... This one's about, Dialogue: 0,0:34:23.53,0:34:32.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's about 28 feet. So that's just about\N8 meters, 8 and a half meters tall, this Dialogue: 0,0:34:32.09,0:34:37.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,piece. And it's basically every photo\Nthat I photographed and shared. Dialogue: 0,0:34:37.35,0:34:41.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But they're all printed in these huge\Npieces, in these huge, vinyl banners. And Dialogue: 0,0:34:41.67,0:34:45.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the actual photos, each photo is about\Nthis little. But, you know, there's like Dialogue: 0,0:34:45.87,0:34:48.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thousands and thousands and thousands and\Nthousands of them. So when you look from Dialogue: 0,0:34:48.96,0:34:53.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the back, all you see is these vertical\Ncolor stripes. Interestly enough, well, Dialogue: 0,0:34:53.90,0:34:57.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what they, the other thing that ... I\Ndon't necessarily disclose this in public Dialogue: 0,0:34:57.08,0:35:00.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I put the {\i1}[unclear]{\i0} but you're really looking\Nat all the images shot on Sunday, all the Dialogue: 0,0:35:00.14,0:35:05.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ones on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,\NThursday, and so on with the seven days. Dialogue: 0,0:35:05.57,0:35:09.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what's also happening is, you know,\Nthe color bars, the test bars for Dialogue: 0,0:35:09.85,0:35:13.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,color calibration of monitors, you know,\Nit's like ...

But in the US we used to\Nhave a thing called the Emergency Dialogue: 0,0:35:21.10,0:35:27.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Broadcast System. And the television show\Nwould stop and would go {\i1}peeep{\i0} This tone Dialogue: 0,0:35:27.09,0:35:30.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would come out and these color bars would\Ncome on the screen and it would say "This Dialogue: 0,0:35:30.36,0:35:33.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a test of the Emergency Broadcast\NSystem.

So this thing of impending doom, Dialogue: 0,0:35:37.38,0:35:42.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this thing, if something is, something bad\Nis about to happen or something bad could Dialogue: 0,0:35:42.01,0:35:45.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happen. And because something like that\Ncould happen, we need to be ready and we Dialogue: 0,0:35:45.42,0:35:49.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,need to be prepared.

So Dialogue: 0,0:35:49.54,0:35:53.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm really interested in that, in this\Nidea of, like, what happens when Dialogue: 0,0:35:53.30,0:35:57.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you use that tone or when you use that\Ncolor and you borrow that thing? But at Dialogue: 0,0:35:57.07,0:36:01.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the same time, it's the very same system\Nthat broadcasters use to calibrate Dialogue: 0,0:36:01.67,0:36:06.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,signal. So this thing of signal, you\Nknow, and if you think about it. On a Dialogue: 0,0:36:06.62,0:36:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,daily basis, we generate so much digital\Ninformation. How much of it can be, how do Dialogue: 0,0:36:10.74,0:36:14.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we calibrate that? So in a way of\Ngiving a nod to that, that's where this Dialogue: 0,0:36:14.53,0:36:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,piece comes out of. So and then this one\Nled to the next one, which ... This has Dialogue: 0,0:36:20.52,0:36:25.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,been making the rounds throughout the\Nplace.

But this Dialogue: 0,0:36:32.27,0:36:36.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the same piece, but lit up from the\Nback. I'll show you another photo of it Dialogue: 0,0:36:36.06,0:36:39.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so you can get a better idea of this\Npiece.

But, you Dialogue: 0,0:37:11.13,0:37:14.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, it doesn't have to be for the FBI.\NI mean, we all ... maybe in this room, I'm Dialogue: 0,0:37:14.95,0:37:18.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sure everybody here has been watched\Nby the government. And there's Dialogue: 0,0:37:18.03,0:37:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably a few people from the shady\Norganizations in this room right here Dialogue: 0,0:37:21.62,0:37:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anyway or certainly at the conference. But\Nwhat you're looking at here is every, Dialogue: 0,0:37:26.00,0:37:30.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe one of those images. And then\Nthere's this pretty grainy black-and-white Dialogue: 0,0:37:30.38,0:37:34.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,image on top. And it looks like every\Nother industrial rooftop. It looks like Dialogue: 0,0:37:34.59,0:37:38.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's a roof top of a building. And you\Ncan see the, the fans and the exhaust and Dialogue: 0,0:37:38.56,0:37:42.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the vents. And then at the lower right\Nthere's these like golf ball looking Dialogue: 0,0:37:42.20,0:37:48.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things. And most buildings don't have\Nthose. This happens to be the rooftop of Dialogue: 0,0:37:48.80,0:37:53.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the NSA. This is... So really\Nyou know, and I kind of look at Dialogue: 0,0:37:53.91,0:37:58.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it like the NSA and you know - us,\Nwe're kind of in the same business. We're Dialogue: 0,0:37:58.20,0:38:00.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kind of on the information business.\NExcept, you know, they like to keep Dialogue: 0,0:38:00.58,0:38:04.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,theirs to themselves and I like to\Ngive it out to everybody. So, you know, Dialogue: 0,0:38:04.98,0:38:08.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we operate a little differently in our\Nbusiness. But we're kind of in the same Dialogue: 0,0:38:08.20,0:38:12.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,business. So I decided to put this piece\Nout. And really, this thing of like, you Dialogue: 0,0:38:12.51,0:38:15.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, so, you know, in a lot of ways\Nthey're kind of like selfies. But they're Dialogue: 0,0:38:15.59,0:38:19.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not really selfies, because when I\Nphotographed these things ... So let's go Dialogue: 0,0:38:19.23,0:38:23.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back to this for now. So, you know, when\NI'm photographing this, I mean, I could Dialogue: 0,0:38:23.15,0:38:26.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have taken the camera and I could\Nhave photographed you right now. But Dialogue: 0,0:38:26.68,0:38:29.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead there's this very anonymous\Nlooking thing. I mean, like, you know, if Dialogue: 0,0:38:29.68,0:38:32.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you've been in this room, \Nyou know, that this could, we Dialogue: 0,0:38:32.73,0:38:36.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know where that is. But in the same way,\Nthere's these like really like, you know, Dialogue: 0,0:38:36.79,0:38:41.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so the camera is not pointing towards me.\NBut the camera is pointing outward. And Dialogue: 0,0:38:41.01,0:38:43.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's what's really important here. And\Nthere's thousands and thousands and Dialogue: 0,0:38:43.01,0:38:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thousands of these. I know. So the\Nselfies, it's become a common thing. And Dialogue: 0,0:38:47.69,0:38:53.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's no shame in, you know, saying\Nyou like the selfies. I mean, here's Dialogue: 0,0:38:53.22,0:38:57.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,President Obama trying to make the look\Nat selfie stick and selfies look pretty Dialogue: 0,0:38:57.15,0:39:02.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,respectable. I can't use the new guy.\NI can't just bear to see him. So I Dialogue: 0,0:39:02.42,0:39:05.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have to go with this guy. I have to go\Nwith Obama. Because, you know, it's Dialogue: 0,0:39:05.72,0:39:09.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,important. But, you know, he's making\Nthat, so when he's taken that image, what Dialogue: 0,0:39:09.85,0:39:13.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happens? Now when you look at the \Nimage, this is what, this is the image Dialogue: 0,0:39:13.72,0:39:16.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we're seeing. That's, that's up on my\Nwebsite right now. And as soon as I leave Dialogue: 0,0:39:16.95,0:39:20.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this room, there'll be a new image that'll\Npop up and then when I get to my hotel, Dialogue: 0,0:39:20.02,0:39:23.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'll see another image. And then when I\Nget to, you know, wherever I go eat Dialogue: 0,0:39:23.86,0:39:27.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tonight, you'll see another image. But\Nanyway, so, you know, every few moments I Dialogue: 0,0:39:27.54,0:39:31.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,timestamp to change it. So when we're\Nseeing this image, but really this is what Dialogue: 0,0:39:31.60,0:39:34.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the, this is what the computer is seeing.\NAnd this ... Some of you, and I'm sure Dialogue: 0,0:39:34.74,0:39:38.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know about this, but for those that\Nare not aware of it, I mean, you know, Dialogue: 0,0:39:38.48,0:39:42.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when you look at the Exif data – I use {\i1}[unclear]{\i0}\Nwhich is an Exif reader to extract what Dialogue: 0,0:39:42.93,0:39:46.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my images are or what the data that's\Nbehind it – so you can see what the image Dialogue: 0,0:39:46.78,0:39:51.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is. That was shot right there, in that\Nlocation. I mean, we know that because Dialogue: 0,0:39:51.22,0:39:55.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that's how our apps know. Would you like\Nto check in from here? That's how it knows Dialogue: 0,0:39:55.88,0:39:59.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the location. So location services,\Nthat's pretty simple. And that's all the, Dialogue: 0,0:39:59.24,0:40:01.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the metadata that's going ... But the\Nhere it's where it gets really Dialogue: 0,0:40:01.62,0:40:06.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interesting. The fact that when you \Nlook at the altitude of this image, Dialogue: 0,0:40:06.62,0:40:14.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the altitude is 186.061643, sounds about\Nright for Leipzig? For this area, 186 Dialogue: 0,0:40:14.01,0:40:19.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meters of altitude? Yes? No? I mean, I'm\Nassuming it's correct because that's what Dialogue: 0,0:40:19.53,0:40:22.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the phone is telling me. But similarly,\Nwhat's really interesting is, when you Dialogue: 0,0:40:22.43,0:40:27.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,look at the image direction. So, I mean,\Nwe know the latitude, longitude, that's a Dialogue: 0,0:40:27.50,0:40:31.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,given. The altitude, that's a new one.\NBecause an image taken on the ground, sea Dialogue: 0,0:40:31.27,0:40:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,level, on the ground level will look very\Ndifferent than an image shot on the 20th Dialogue: 0,0:40:36.00,0:40:40.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or 30th floor of a building. Because the\Nbarometric sensor inside the phone will Dialogue: 0,0:40:40.76,0:40:44.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,put a different altitude number in there.\NSo we know, that this image can also, Dialogue: 0,0:40:44.58,0:40:49.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I were to shoot this image from the\Nroof looking down, that image probably Dialogue: 0,0:40:49.62,0:40:57.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will be about a 188, 189, 190 meters.\NBecause of the distance of this. The other Dialogue: 0,0:40:57.76,0:41:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,part, that's really interesting, is the\Nimage direction. The camera was tilted at Dialogue: 0,0:41:03.00,0:41:12.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a 163 degrees from North. 0 being North,\N90 East, 180 South, 270 West. So slightly Dialogue: 0,0:41:12.39,0:41:16.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,south. The camera was pointed slightly\Nsouth-ish. Which is exactly what that Dialogue: 0,0:41:16.68,0:41:23.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,camera's pointed. Now, why does this\Nmatter? It was only a few years ago that Dialogue: 0,0:41:23.12,0:41:27.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we were thinking: "You mean, Google is\Ngoing to drive up and down every single Dialogue: 0,0:41:27.47,0:41:34.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,road and record every single street?"\NYes, basically the only thing, that's Dialogue: 0,0:41:34.78,0:41:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,holding them back in certain places, is\Nthe country's laws or the local things. Dialogue: 0,0:41:39.00,0:41:43.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Aside from that, not only they drive up\Nand down every single road in every single Dialogue: 0,0:41:43.47,0:41:47.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,city in every single country that they\Ncan. They do this repeatedly, year after Dialogue: 0,0:41:47.62,0:41:51.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,year, after year, after year, after year.\NSome places they'll put, you know, like Dialogue: 0,0:41:51.54,0:41:55.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Venice, they'll have like someone on a\Nboat that goes through. On certain Dialogue: 0,0:41:55.10,0:41:58.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pedestrian-only islands, there'll be\Nsomeone carrying a backpack of those Dialogue: 0,0:41:58.45,0:42:03.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Google cameras around. So it wasn't that\Nlong ago that this concept, that Google Dialogue: 0,0:42:03.04,0:42:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would catalog every possible outdoor\Nspace was seemed so far-fetched. It's only Dialogue: 0,0:42:11.12,0:42:18.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a matter of time before we collectively\Nphotograph every indoor space and we Dialogue: 0,0:42:18.09,0:42:23.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,catalog every single indoor space and we\Nphotograph all of it. And sooner or Dialogue: 0,0:42:23.35,0:42:28.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,later, this database, we, through this\Ndatabase of every indoor image with all Dialogue: 0,0:42:28.19,0:42:32.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the metadata, we can restitch every\Ninterior space. We could recreate every Dialogue: 0,0:42:32.80,0:42:35.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interior space. Similarly, you know, then,\Nyou know, when you look at your frequent Dialogue: 0,0:42:35.85,0:42:38.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,locations. I mean, you know, do you look\Nat me that's like, you know, exactly what Dialogue: 0,0:42:38.39,0:42:42.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,moment you've come on, what minute you\Nwalked into a place, what minute you've Dialogue: 0,0:42:42.36,0:42:47.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,walked out of a place. I mean, you know,\Nhow does your phone know that you've Dialogue: 0,0:42:47.86,0:42:53.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,taken, you know, 8934 steps today? I\Nmean, it's counting every single one of Dialogue: 0,0:42:53.65,0:42:57.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them. It knows, you went three, you \Nknow it, you've done five flights Dialogue: 0,0:42:57.05,0:43:01.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,today, because it knows that your altitude\Nchanged from here to here to here. And it Dialogue: 0,0:43:01.04,0:43:06.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knows every second you've done all \Nthis. I mean, this is kind of crazy. So, Dialogue: 0,0:43:06.05,0:43:09.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you cross-reference all of this\Ndata. I mean, and short of basically Dialogue: 0,0:43:09.39,0:43:13.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,giving up our phones. I mean, this data\Nis being collected and it's gonna happen. Dialogue: 0,0:43:13.88,0:43:19.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's going to get archived. I mean, you\Nknow, there's plenty of, you Dialogue: 0,0:43:19.57,0:43:24.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, but at these... that these phones\Nare just like, it's inevitable. And we're Dialogue: 0,0:43:24.35,0:43:27.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not going to give up our lives without\Nthem. So you cross-reference all of Dialogue: 0,0:43:27.97,0:43:33.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these. And very quickly it creates\Na complete picture of the owner of that Dialogue: 0,0:43:33.39,0:43:38.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device. Now back in the old days, you\Nknow, you'd have to, you know, the Dialogue: 0,0:43:38.47,0:43:41.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,intelligence agencies would waste all of\Nthis energy or follow people around. I Dialogue: 0,0:43:41.96,0:43:46.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mean, you know, it wasn't that long ago.\NIt happened right here. I mean, you'd have Dialogue: 0,0:43:46.14,0:43:49.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,people following other people around.\NYou'd have databases. And you have Dialogue: 0,0:43:49.09,0:43:54.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,archives on other archives. This record-\Nkeeping, this massive amount of analog Dialogue: 0,0:43:54.31,0:43:58.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,record-keeping, was not, this is\Nnot far-fetched. This happened very Dialogue: 0,0:43:58.93,0:44:04.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recently. Now, why should they\Ngo around, do that today, when they can Dialogue: 0,0:44:04.18,0:44:07.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just go to one of the companies and say:\N"Hey. You don't want you give it to us?" Dialogue: 0,0:44:07.03,0:44:11.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now we know, you know, of course here's,\Nyou know, Tim Cook saying: "No, no, we Dialogue: 0,0:44:11.02,0:44:15.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't, we don't give our information to\Nthe NSA, we don't do that." We know a Dialogue: 0,0:44:15.26,0:44:18.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little differently, you know, I mean,\Nremember these? These are from Snowden. I Dialogue: 0,0:44:18.80,0:44:23.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mean, this is obvious. Look, it doesn't\Nsay, when we ... well, it does not say, Dialogue: 0,0:44:23.52,0:44:28.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when the NSA intercepted each of these\Ndates, when prism collection began for Dialogue: 0,0:44:28.06,0:44:32.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,each provider. They're being called\Nproviders here. The reason they're being Dialogue: 0,0:44:32.66,0:44:36.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called providers is, because these are the\Ncompanies, that are providing the Dialogue: 0,0:44:36.45,0:44:42.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,information to the NSA. So while Tim Cook\Ncan say that he doesn't, you know, well, Dialogue: 0,0:44:42.76,0:44:47.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while he can say, well, he can say all he\Nwants about he doesn't, you know, that Dialogue: 0,0:44:47.68,0:44:52.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they don't involve themselves, we \Nknow otherwise. This is proof. So, you Dialogue: 0,0:44:52.33,0:44:57.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, so my whole thing is like, hey, you\Nknow, if the tech companies, if these Dialogue: 0,0:44:57.27,0:45:01.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,organisa..., if these large multinational\Ntech companies can provide this Dialogue: 0,0:45:01.02,0:45:03.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,information, why can't we do this for\Nourselves? Why can't we just put this out Dialogue: 0,0:45:03.82,0:45:07.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there? And what and why not just put\Neverything out there, whether it's Dialogue: 0,0:45:07.51,0:45:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,relevant or not? And why not just mud up\Nthe whole system? So, you know, I'm Dialogue: 0,0:45:13.08,0:45:16.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really interested in this idea of like\Ncreating our own archives. Do you know Dialogue: 0,0:45:16.52,0:45:20.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this building? This is the AT&T data\Ncenter in San Francisco at the corner of Dialogue: 0,0:45:20.11,0:45:23.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,2nd and Folsom.

And shortly before 2007, about a Dialogue: 0,0:45:30.31,0:45:35.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little over 10 years ago, there were,\Nthere was a whistleblower though, that Dialogue: 0,0:45:35.20,0:45:41.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,came forward. It was in room 641a of this\Nbuilding, which... Basically, what Dialogue: 0,0:45:41.97,0:45:46.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happened is: The NSA approached 16 telecom\Ncompanies in the US and said: "We'd like Dialogue: 0,0:45:46.05,0:45:51.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to copy your data stream."

We're not Dialogue: 0,0:45:55.26,0:45:59.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really sure the legalities of this. Can\Nyou come back with a warrant and tell us Dialogue: 0,0:45:59.22,0:46:03.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you're looking for? And we\Nwill provide it to you, if you can tell Dialogue: 0,0:46:03.07,0:46:08.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,us what you want." But you know, you\Nhad, you had 15 of the 16 just say: Dialogue: 0,0:46:08.81,0:46:14.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Yeah, go ahead." So what basically, what\Nhappened in, in 2007, not like, who Dialogue: 0,0:46:14.22,0:46:21.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knows, what it is now. But in 2007 it was\Nestimated, that there was 213 terabytes Dialogue: 0,0:46:21.71,0:46:29.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of phone records in this building. Every\Nphone record of every domestic call in the Dialogue: 0,0:46:29.83,0:46:35.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,US was archived. And then of course\Nthere's multiple data centers. This is Dialogue: 0,0:46:35.07,0:46:39.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just one of many. Now who does that phone\Ncall belong to? You know, when you're Dialogue: 0,0:46:39.33,0:46:42.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,calling grandma. Does that phone call,\Ndoes that information and that phone Dialogue: 0,0:46:42.74,0:46:47.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,call, does that belong to you? Does that\Nbelong to Grandma? Or does that belong to Dialogue: 0,0:46:47.09,0:46:51.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the phone company and they're licensing\Nyou a one-time use of it? We don't, I Dialogue: 0,0:46:51.84,0:46:55.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mean again with this... Who\Nactually owns this data? So I was really Dialogue: 0,0:46:55.65,0:46:59.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,interested in this and keeping it record.\NSo, I know, you know, while AT&T's Dialogue: 0,0:46:59.26,0:47:03.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keeping records, which is my\Nmobile phone provider in the US.

I'm not really sure Dialogue: 0,0:47:38.57,0:47:42.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what they're doing. But I'm glad, I'm\Nglad they like what I do. But, so, I Dialogue: 0,0:47:42.37,0:47:47.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really have to thank one particular\Nperson for making my art career possible. Dialogue: 0,0:47:47.18,0:47:51.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that would be Dick Cheney.

I mean, Dialogue: 0,0:47:54.62,0:47:57.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really, I mean, you know, he's really\Nresponsible for a lot of things that have Dialogue: 0,0:47:57.66,0:48:01.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happened recently.

So a few years ago,\NI said, well, about 2010 I moved to the, I Dialogue: 0,0:48:12.02,0:48:15.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,start–, I took a job at the University of\NMaryland, which is in College Park. When I Dialogue: 0,0:48:15.49,0:48:18.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,say Maryland, most people assume we're in\NBaltimore. Because that's the main city Dialogue: 0,0:48:18.14,0:48:22.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Maryland. But we're actually closer to\NWashington DC. So you can see, so there's Dialogue: 0,0:48:22.61,0:48:28.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,College Park, that's, that's where I work.\NThis is the FBI headquarters. This is the Dialogue: 0,0:48:28.02,0:48:34.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,CIA. This is the NSA. You triangulate the\Nthree, it ends up on my campus. So it's Dialogue: 0,0:48:34.74,0:48:37.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only appropriate, you know, it's, and\Nplus, you know, we have this budget Dialogue: 0,0:48:37.17,0:48:40.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,problem in the US right now. So I'm,\Nlike, helping them out. It's like, you Dialogue: 0,0:48:40.58,0:48:43.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know: "Guys, can I help you, guys?

By the way, vice.com ranked Dialogue: 0,0:48:47.36,0:48:51.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,us "The Most Militarized University In\NAmerica". We're number one. And then Dialogue: 0,0:48:51.38,0:48:53.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're not number one at football or\Nanything. It takes a while for that sort Dialogue: 0,0:48:53.74,0:48:57.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of stuff. But most militarized, that's\Npretty easy. We can do that. Let me show Dialogue: 0,0:48:57.48,0:49:00.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you a little bit about ... So it's an\Namazing place. DC is, Washington DC is a Dialogue: 0,0:49:00.49,0:49:05.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,great place to be. Problem is, real estate\Nis really, really, really expensive. Like Dialogue: 0,0:49:05.67,0:49:08.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,housing is really, you know, it's a\Ncompany town. I mean, like, why else would Dialogue: 0,0:49:08.83,0:49:12.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you need to live there unless, you know,\Nyou're working in government? So while, Dialogue: 0,0:49:12.54,0:49:15.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you know, real estate prices in other\Nparts of the country go up and down, Dialogue: 0,0:49:15.55,0:49:19.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Washington just keeps going up and up and\Nup and up and up. So, you know, it's been Dialogue: 0,0:49:19.08,0:49:23.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good. But then I found this piece of land\Nin St. Michael's. Now if you look over Dialogue: 0,0:49:23.36,0:49:27.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here, it says, the average listing price\Nin the zip code, which is the, the postal Dialogue: 0,0:49:27.62,0:49:33.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,code in that area, is 797303 dollars. This\Nwas back in 2010. You know, 800000 Dialogue: 0,0:49:33.97,0:49:38.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dollars at that time average. And then I\Nfound this piece of land for only 74000 Dialogue: 0,0:49:38.84,0:49:43.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bucks. I was like: "I want this. I want\Nthis. I want this. I'm gonna ..." I know, Dialogue: 0,0:49:43.04,0:49:45.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's like I need to do something. And\Nit's about an hour and a half away from Dialogue: 0,0:49:45.92,0:49:49.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work, which is a bit ... But, you know,\Nit's possible. Anyway, so this is where Dialogue: 0,0:49:49.32,0:49:53.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the house is over there. It goes \Nfurther up. So it's a piece of land, it's a Dialogue: 0,0:49:53.20,0:49:56.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beautiful place. I mean, you see the\Nnature and all that. It's that weird Dialogue: 0,0:49:56.21,0:50:00.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,oblong shape over there. You see that\Nlittle driveway with the nice trees and Dialogue: 0,0:50:00.28,0:50:03.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that house in the water? That belongs to\Nthis guy. Dialogue: 0,0:50:03.41,0:50:06.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,{\i1}slight laughter in the audience{\i0}\NSo, and let me take you around the Dialogue: 0,0:50:06.55,0:50:11.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,neighborhood for a little bit. So \Nthis is, this is his gate. This is his Dialogue: 0,0:50:11.77,0:50:17.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,driveway. He drives up this way. He\Nhas a five car garage. Two of those Dialogue: 0,0:50:17.45,0:50:21.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,garages go back pretty deep. This is\Nswimming pool. We're gonna hang out here Dialogue: 0,0:50:21.70,0:50:25.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over the summers, hang out, you know,\Nwe'd gonna throw some parties. This is his Dialogue: 0,0:50:25.92,0:50:33.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,front room. This is his kitchen. This is\Nwhere he sleeps. And this is where we're Dialogue: 0,0:50:33.88,0:50:39.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gonna plot world domination. We're gonna\Nhang out and eat yellowcake up there. So Dialogue: 0,0:50:39.61,0:50:43.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is the place. I'm hoping to\Nbuild this. This is what I was trying to Dialogue: 0,0:50:43.33,0:50:46.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,build. But the listing just kind of\Ndisappeared. It literally just Dialogue: 0,0:50:46.54,0:50:50.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,disappeared. And I'm convinced it's, so,\Nyou know, it's like he kind of does that Dialogue: 0,0:50:50.35,0:50:54.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to people, too. I'm glad he just did it to\Nthe listening and not to me. But, you Dialogue: 0,0:50:54.14,0:50:57.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, it wasn't withdrawn, it wasn't\Nsold, it just like disappeared. So these Dialogue: 0,0:50:57.64,0:51:00.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,days, it has become like this really\Nconceptual project, where I'm actually Dialogue: 0,0:51:00.23,0:51:03.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,painting them. And then I'm photographing\Nthe paintings. So this is what I'm Dialogue: 0,0:51:03.67,0:51:07.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually showing. So, you know,\Nit's... So, okay. Here's my thing.

I mean, I'm completely Dialogue: 0,0:51:33.98,0:51:37.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,self-trained in this.

Because we've Dialogue: 0,0:54:17.30,0:54:21.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only had people that communicate over\Nwriting for hundreds of years. Then we Dialogue: 0,0:54:21.31,0:54:26.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would have people that only communicated\Nand phoned for maybe 30 to 50, maybe a Dialogue: 0,0:54:26.38,0:54:30.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little longer. And then, now we only have\Nthat like in the last 5 years we've had Dialogue: 0,0:54:30.12,0:54:33.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this. And then now, down to like one year.\NSo who knows what the next method will Dialogue: 0,0:54:33.59,0:54:38.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be? But I really think a lot of it has to\Ndo with this adaptation. I think a lot of Dialogue: 0,0:54:38.89,0:54:43.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the things really interesting is this\Nidea of like, like migration and, you Dialogue: 0,0:54:43.18,0:54:47.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, the whole immigration topics are\Nsome real hot topic politically right now. Dialogue: 0,0:54:47.57,0:54:50.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I think we also need to think \Nabout this from a digital perspective. Dialogue: 0,0:54:50.82,0:54:55.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because, you know, we turn, we tend to use\Nthe word digital native a lot. But we Dialogue: 0,0:54:55.24,0:54:59.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,never actually use the word digital\Nimmigrant. But yet that's all of us in Dialogue: 0,0:54:59.43,0:55:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some way. I mean, very few of us...\NI mean there, yes, there are Dialogue: 0,0:55:03.00,0:55:06.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,certain, there is a certain generation\Nthat is 100% digital from day one. But Dialogue: 0,0:55:06.95,0:55:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for most of us, at least of a certain\Nage, we are all digital immigrants. And I Dialogue: 0,0:55:11.36,0:55:15.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,think that, that type of shift, I think\Nthat type of understanding of it, I think Dialogue: 0,0:55:15.52,0:55:21.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it has an impact and particularly\Nin terms of dealing with Dialogue: 0,0:55:21.14,0:55:25.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learning and dealing with education, you\Nknow. At what point is it a natively Dialogue: 0,0:55:25.73,0:55:37.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,learned skill versus a naturalised, a\Nmigratory type of an action. So. Hopefully Dialogue: 0,0:55:37.58,0:55:41.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that answers that you're talking about,\Nyeah. Do you have another question? ... Dialogue: 0,0:55:41.49,0:55:48.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah?\NQ: Just ... have they ever asked Dialogue: 0,0:55:48.81,0:55:51.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you to stop?\NHasan: No, no there's no law against Dialogue: 0,0:55:51.07,0:55:54.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,talking too much. Because if there was a\Nlaw against talking too much, we'd all be Dialogue: 0,0:55:54.33,0:55:57.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in trouble. But you know, but this is\Ninteresting. Because they're very much Dialogue: 0,0:55:57.71,0:56:04.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about, there ... It's very much a \None-way direction. They're not about, Dialogue: 0,0:56:04.78,0:56:08.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they don't editorialize, they don't\Nprovide opinion. They only take Dialogue: 0,0:56:08.73,0:56:14.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,information. They ask you questions and\Nthey take information. So you could answer Dialogue: 0,0:56:14.70,0:56:20.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,them with one word or you could answer\Nthem with millions. And I've just decided Dialogue: 0,0:56:20.28,0:56:24.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I'm gonna keep talking, keep\Ntalking to them. I'm a relatively, you Dialogue: 0,0:56:24.69,0:56:30.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know, I think cooperative person. I'd like\Nto be helpful, you know. But really, what Dialogue: 0,0:56:30.19,0:56:34.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it is, it's really, it's, defiance \Nthrough compliance. It's Dialogue: 0,0:56:34.71,0:56:38.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this level of aggressive compliance. And\Nat a certain point, I try to be so Dialogue: 0,0:56:38.56,0:56:41.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helpful, that I'm completely not \Nhelpful at all.
