The last 10 days the Archa Theatre in Prague has been hosting crash test dummy. As Archa had chosen to focus on the subject of surveillance in their share of CTD, there have also been new artists presenting their work. Dominik Rinnhofer and David Kleinl were exhibiting their audio visual installations alongside with Marko Peljhans S-77ccr device for private counter surveillance. When I arrived to Prague on wednesday last week I attended a discussion on security and surveillance which was organized by the weekly paper RESPEKT. Also of course it was nice to meet Ivan, a friend from the czech art magazine Umelec who is just moving his office to a great art space called Karlin Studios…there we also found some installations concerned with biometrics, surveillance and control… As the head of Archa, Ondrej Hrab said. We have only started to get into this issues yet… but there is more to come….see the interview with Mike Baugh of Archa theatre.
