The new surveillance state is hidden in the recesses of our phones and digital assistants, our traffic cameras and facial recognition, and even in our continual recording of the earth’s surface via satellite imagery and local sensing. We dove into the recent history of Berlin, Germany and crafted critiques in the form of spatial responses and short films. My project, "Skin of Berlin," speculated on a new haptic reading of reality, and how this lens would interact with the continual movement to commodify counterculture that exists in the city.
