monitoring

The monitoring image

This is an image that observes, checks and keeps a continueous record of a process. The production of this image is based on the concept of pre-emption. Pre-emption is a technique for taking control over the future, to act on the basis of a possible future event. Pre-emption makes the future, that which is imagined, to become real. It’s protocol; to act to prevent something from happening, is of course one on which surveillance technologies are based. Everything is recorded IN CASE something happens. The recording is not done to memorize something, it is done to see what should not happen.
