The Holder-Zuckerberg Social Surveillance Pact

The past two years have been internally volatile. Questions of law, human rights, and freedom have run rampant through the shadows. In this depth-less society we inhabit, the choices are being made for us in the name of convenience and public safety. The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact has been signed between the suffocating surveillance juggernauts of Washington DC and Silicone Valley. Poland is our freedom and privacy. Except their is no Great Britain and France coming to our defense. And why would their be? Unlike Poland their is only a small majority that can acknowledge this reality and fear its consequences. The cowardly masses are handing flowers to the rolling tanks and jumping behind the safety of bottles and pipes.

My work is a response to this. Armed with a decade old fuji film I capture moments of raw emotion. Using the infinitely expanding dimension of realm I have pried open the pixels of a captured moment in time. I erase the facade defined by TMZ, 24 hr news, and social media that we believe is reality. In its place I show the world for what it really is. The Holder-Zuckerberg Social Surveillance Pact has been signed and the majority have been swallowed by its rising tide. I refuse to sink, so I must continue to swim. My work is the product of my swimming.

The first series of images from The Holder-Zuckerberg Surveillance Pact will be on display this Friday and Saturday at Jef Bond's Art Party. www.artpartypensacola.com
