the third eye.

an nyu professor has attached a surveillance camera to the back of his head. he will record everything, twenty four seven. the only time there will be a lens cap is on campus to protect the privacy of his students. wafaa bilal is no stranger to the eccentric in his past art installations, this work is specifically to comment on the “inaccessibility of time and the inability to capture memory and experience.”

thank you gala

erasing david.

when david bond receives a letter that his daughter is among 25 million residents whose details have been lost by the government’s Child Benefit Office, he sets out to  test how far the government can get with the information they have an can access about individuals. erasing david is the film. david makes a decision to leave his pregnant wife and daughter for thirty days while top investigators track him. issues of privacy, public versus private knowledge and paranoia under surveillance are put to the test. an excellent comment on our 'public' society.
