artist_bio: "Kovács/O’Doherty have worked as a collaborative duo since 2011.Their work combines elements of durational and time-based art, minimalist sound and composition, video, and movement. This work is frequently shaped by attempts to apply rigorous processes to simple but often-overlooked phenomena – they are interested in processes, sounds, and movements that come close to imperceptibility, and the ways in which this material can be transformed through layering, rhythm, pattern, and repetition. They are currently working on a new project for the Art + Technology Lab at LACMA, Los Angeles, for 2017, and their work has been presented by, among others, Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art (Porto), Digital in Berlin’s Kiezsalon series (Berlin), Sophiensaele (Berlin), Kunstkraftwerk (Leipzig), and Bakelit (Budapest). They live and work in Berlin." artist_bio: "Kovács/O’Doherty have worked as a collaborative duo since 2011.Their work combines elements of durational and time-based art, minimalist sound and composition, video, and movement.

description: "Self-surveillance as artistic strategy in an era of pervasive data collection, Corporate surveillance as consumer choice (Amazon Echo, etc), Minute/Year – a multi-year durational installation (and related works), Online artworks and the instability of audience and performer, Daily indexing, Sound and layering, Duration as conceptual approach." description: "We live in an era of pervasive data trails and generalised, automated surveillance. In one sense, an Orwellian vision of total control is becoming real, but perhaps not as we might have imagined. It has instead been partly realised as a strange outgrowth of consumer choice. Most recently, we can now choose to have a smart home device (such as the Amazon Echo or Google Home) as a modern convenience — a computer in a tube that lives in our homes and helps us, but that also listens to everything we do, forever. In this newly-emergent reality, what kind of artistic strategies might be worth pursuing? Is self-surveillance (sousveillance) a method of reacting to, or transforming, the habits and culture of this strange new era? We would like to tease out some of these ideas, in part by discussing some recent artistic projects which work with ideas of self-observation, repetition, instability in the role of participant and observer, indexing, and extended duration."
