:

"The invasive surveillance apparatus we find embedded in almost all aspects of our technologically mediated lives collects and analyzes personal information which is then used by organizations to produce various outcomes that are often out of our control. Surveillance is not simply good or bad, helpful or harmful, but it is never neutral, and it is increasingly at the core of larger systems of control. Screening Surveillance is a short film series created by sava saheli singh that aims to raise awareness about how large organizations use data and how these practices affect life chances and choices. We need to consider these implications, and critically examine the logics and practices within big data systems that underpin, enable, and accelerate surveillance."聽
