The Argus Project: Counter-Surveillance Armor for the Citizen Body
Artist
Gan Golan
Ligaiya Romero
Based upon Argus Panoptes, the Greek giant with 100 eyes, the project serves as a metaphor for an awakening citizen body to police brutality and violence. The Argus Project is a creative intervention in three acts: 1) a futuristic wearable device; 2) a 360° video installation featuring interviews with former police officers and people impacted by police violence that becomes an immersive storytelling device; 3) community training programs including know-your-rights info and workshops on counter-surveillance and social media.
