The Digital Uncanny
<p>You have a data ghost. The excess of information we share online – photos, posts, messages, locations – creates a digital doppelganger that blurs the line between human and non-human, living and dead. Artists like U5 and Bill Viola reckon with this excess of image, data, and self-surveillance creating works that grapple with the uncanny in its digital manifestations.</p> <p>In this week’s episode of <em>Tomorrow Is The Problem, </em>host Dr. Donna Honarpisheh sits down with anonymous artist collective U5 member, Berit Seidel and Kris Ravetto-Biagioli, a professor of cinema and digital media at UCLA, to discuss surveillance technology and the digital uncanny in the works of U5 and Bill Viola.</p>
