Abstract(s)
Recognizing that the global situation of the world is not for fun, there are artists who confront the presence
of new forms of technological domination, before which they oppose critically, playfully and politically. This article intends to identify the control powers and technologies present in our contemporaneity, as well as to analyze the techno-aesthetic modulations that various artists have been proposing as artistic practices of resistance to the permanent vigilance or trivialization of biometric and facial recognition technologies. In this context, Zach Blas his projects, carried out between 2011 and 2016, directly target the critique and dramatization of biopolitical control practices through face identification. Complementary to the practices of resistance in the field of Tactical Media, there are works that denote a strategy of confrontation and civil disobedience, although in the same board of the hidden game. Artists like Trevor Paglen or Harun Farocki have been developing actions that seek to deconstruct and unveil the military-industrial complex and the devices of cybernetic power.
