Scott McKinney deals with issues of authority and surveillance in his multi-media works, incorporating AR (augmented reality) to reveal the formulaic signifiers used to classify, corral and control inhabitants of both the urban grid and cyberspace.
His installation, Still Untitled, employs artificial intelligence and human tracking to build connections between CCTV security cameras and social media-based data collection, thereby illustrating our unwitting participation in both the invisible police state and the algorithmic positioning of digital social networks.
