Julia Scher recreates post-9/11 surveillance installation in New York City
Is Our Collective Security Worth the Sacrifice of Individual Privacy?
Julia Scher explores the intersection of surveillance, technology, and ethics in her latest exhibition at Ortuzar Projects. Through thought-provoking installations like “Security by Julia XLV,” Scher challenges viewers to consider the implications of our increasingly surveilled world. This exhibition delves into timely issues surrounding privacy, security, and the impact of technology on our society.
“American Landscape” offers a glimpse into a future where AI-driven interventions blur the lines between human and machine. With sculptures like “Tessa,” a marble owl with human genitals, and a Sphinx-like dog with hybrid features, Scher imagines a world where humanity has evolved beyond recognition.
By addressing these complex themes, Scher’s exhibition serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of unchecked surveillance and technology. Through her art, she invites viewers to question the boundaries between privacy and security in an increasingly digitized world.
Don’t miss the chance to experience Julia Scher’s thought-provoking exhibition at Ortuzar Projects until 13 April.
