“Being unseen is protection itself, hiding is independence, opacity is freedom. Obfuscation is the choice to live opposite of an increasingly virtualized and surveilled experience of life.”
– Artist and researcher Lindsay Sorell, summarizing the ethos of the Remai Modern exhibition “
How Not to Be Seen.” Artists including
Zach Blas,
Sondra Perry, and
Hito Steyerl contribute to the Saskatoon (CA) show, which Sorell encapsulates as “a tour of reactions to colonial systems of surveillance and control.”
