Public order policing has led to a vast increase in surveillance, which I why I made this selection.
“Modern intelligence-led policing is a fully-fledged business model that collects large volumes of data from various sources, and carries out sophisticated network analysis. It creates personal profiles, maps networks, associations and connections, and predicts how individuals and groups will act. This does not aim merely to detect, investigate and prosecute offences, but to prevent unwanted events and activities from occurring in the first place. Disruption and deterrence sit at the heart of ‘intelligence-led’ policing.”

I had originally put pictures up in the Atrium firstly, to get an appreciation of work this size in the space. Also, to examine the appearance and size of the half-tone dots and to be available for criticism in the tutorial with Katja today. I was originally planning to take it down directly after this.
However, I noticed quite a number of people checking it out and had a fair few complimentary comments. Having also advertised it on photography and other facebook groups I noted a number of favourable comments and email.
With this in mind, I approached the Gallery Manager who offered me the space until the next show on the 10th April. The school administration made the booking officially. I am grateful for the opportunity to display in such a central location within the university.
