telco, 2002, 17″H x 4″W x 5.5″D (aerials, stainless steel)
is a small “inter-active” related to the telecommunications revolution.
It whispers of its ominous side…and the omnipresent eye of the corporate-government surveillance state and the ghastly hi-tech panopticon that is now fully in place and storing everything we do. (A panopticon — literally “all-seeing” in the Greek — is a prison where the guards can watch the prisoners without the latter knowing when they are doing it.)
