Dark Matters: Yerba Buena Center Exhibit

Dark Matters is an exhibit at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco with a security bent:

A group exhibition of hi-tech installations, photography, video and conceptual projects that uncover the unexpected, the invisible and the hidden. Delving into the obscure and often sinister, the works allow us to experience what we only suspect exists. Projects include the internet-eavesdropping installation Listening Post by Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen; surveillance projects by artist/experimental geographer Trevor Paglen; and multi-channel panoramic videos by Bull.Miletic. Additional works by Sergio Prego, Walid Raad, Kambui Olujimi, Alison Sant, Richard Johnson, Richard Barnes, Alex Schweder, Charles Mason and David Maisel.

Listening Post is particularly compelling, the combination of real time input scraped from chat rooms and synthetic voice audio makes that room difficult to leave. See also "Limit-Telephotographer Spies on Stealth Military Installations."
