All Watched Over aims to create a camouflaged interior as an artifact of data and images. Through the exchanged visual elements in cybernetic terrain, social relations are created while physical bodies expand onto virtual.Mediated civic interior values human expression and public experience while adapting mass media typologies to the digital age. The facade becomes a visual tool to avoid panoptic gaze and grants anonymity to the body. The interior order behind the facade rejects the ideal privileged cartesian subject through the multiplication of focuses and expanding the visual field. The theatre evolves as a new typology to blur the boundary between the observer and observed, the media and space.To sum up, the artifact becomes a visual and political apparatus inhabited by political bodies whose primary medium of resistance is intellectual property against the despotic digital regimes.
