"Panopticon Project"
A Stalker View
‘’The panopticon is a type of institutional building and a system of control designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept of the design is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates being able to tell whether they are being watched.’’ In modern society panopticon is not anymore just a building it’s the way that post-capitalism control our bodies. This project is about the observation of my avatar. Moves and choices of a game character, are being watched when suddenly the avatar starts to have her own consciousness. I record my life in the platform and I concentrate thousands of stills of my cyber-self. As many of my own moments being recorded in the world of S.L, I becaming a stalker of myself. The subject now has been transformed to the object of an observation.
