Surveillance and Pushing Against "The New Normal"

Freiheit statt Angst (Freedom Not Fear) Action in Berlin, September 12, 2009

Interestingly, Kereszi's series of photographs of the closed Coast Guard base reminds one that a primary duty of the Coast Guard is surveillance. Since so much of the work in The New Normal represents the ways we've become inured to invasions of privacy, it's hopeful to see folks pushing back.
