Low Definition Control - Malfunctions #0
The fact that security and risk prevention now represent “political
superglue” prompted Michael Palm to reflect on the implications of the growing mechanization of perception, in both the public
space and the field of medicine. LOW DEFINITION CONTROL is science fiction in a literal sense: a visionary anticipation of
biopolitical/governmental processes that began some time ago, in which technology is so deeply inscribed into human behavior
that a disciplinary and control society could at some point be replaced by one comprising disembodied, predictable interface
subjects. (Bert Rebhandl)
