Event Info: 

  On Monday, October 13, artist Hasan Elahi will describe his experiences with FBI interrogation and his subsequent art project in a public lecture, "Tracking Transience: The Orwell Project," for UC Berkeley's Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium. After an erroneous tip called into law enforcement in 2002, Elahi underwent an intensive post 9-11 investigation by the FBI. From this experience, Elahi conceived "Tracking Transience" (http://trackingtransience.net), a self-surveillance project that publicly presents his exact location, activities, and personal data. "Tracking Transience" is a critique of contemporary investigative techniques that also provides an ongoing "alibi" for the artist.
