Summary note
Discipline and Desire" examines how surveillance technologies, when placed within the frames of theater and performance, can be used to critique and critically reimagine the politics of surveillance in everyday life. In this way, the rapid proliferation of surveillance technology including drones, CCTV cameras, GPS tracking systems, medical surveillance equipment, and a host of other commercially available technologies can be repurposed through performance to become technologies of ethical witnessing, critique, and action. While the subject of surveillance continues to provoke fascination and debate in mainstream media and academia, opportunities to critically reflect upon and, more importantly, to imagine alternative, creative responses to living in a rapidly expanding surveillance society have been harder to find. Author Elise Morrison argues that such opportunities are being created through the growing genre of "surveillance art and performance," defined as works that centrally employ technologie sand techniques of surveillance to create theater, installation, and performance art.
