"Low Definition Control — Malfunctions #0" Because we are all being watched
Ten years after 9/11, the spectre of the sleeper has not only led to an extension of the police’s scope of action in the framework of surveillance and prevention scenarios in the „war on terror“; it also haunts technical images of the human body and the governance of public health.
In short, the sleeper has not only become the uncanny pop icon of menace but a general metaphor for the uncertain futures of a society full of risks. Low Definition Control explores how far the sleeper has changed knowledge produced by imaging systems which are used in medicine and surveillance technology.
