________________________________________________________

Where surveillance technologies used to be a specialized part of urban 
public space mostly aimed at crime prevention and investigation, today 
surveillance in the form of automated data collection and analysis has 
become an essential part of contemporary infrastructure — from smart 
phones to social media, smart home devices, and beyond. Nowadays, 
surveillance is both hidden and pervasive in its structure and 
operation. It surrounds us as an “invisible infrastructure” that tracks 
us and allows our devices to show us content tailored to “our” interests 
and respond to “our” desires.

But to what extent is mass observation and data access acceptable? Where 
is the fine line between new technological advances making our life 
easier—whether it is physical or virtual—and becoming manipulative?

Can You See Me Now? illuminates a variety of artistic and social tactics 
that address these questions and explore the shift from surveillance as 
technology to surveillance as infrastructure. The artists focus on 
making surveillance infrastructures visible by “performing” the 
technologies in unintentional, experimental ways. Visitors are able to 
discover new modes of interaction with the technology as well as 
possibilities to intervene in the systems beyond the aesthetic experience.

🕳 City Walk: Offshore Tour Operator by RYBN.ORG

Limited places available — please RSVP : welcome at weareaia.art

With Offshore Tour Operator (2017 / 2022) the extradisciplinary artist 
collective RYBN.ORG takes us on a tour of the physical traces of 
offshore banking within the city of Zürich. The tours let the 
participants hunt for shell companies, trust firms, and housing agencies 
and shadow finance offices and agents tucked away within the 
architecture of various Zürich neighborhoods. For the GPS-driven 
psychogeographical tour RYBN.ORG extracts the data from the 800,000 
addresses of the Offshore Leaks database. The work offers an entry point 
and filter into what would otherwise be an overwhelming trove of 
economic data.
