Screen Walk with The Dazzle Club
The Dazzle Club
The Dazzle Club will walk pixelated streets and squares of London, leading participants into their archive of routes exploring publicness, autonomy and visibility. Live analogue interventions will frame questions around the new publicness of our homes and how video conferencing has interjected further surveillance into the domestic.
In Screen Walks, a series of live-streamed explorations of digital spaces, selected artists and researchers investigate artistic strategies taking place online. The project gives an insight into practices using the screen as a medium. From re-contextualising pictures found on online marketplaces and uncovering data brokers’ invisible circulation of images to analysing in-game photography and the social, political and economic implications of games – Screen Walks examines various approaches, offers a behind-the-scenes look at artists’ work and uncovers new, current and forgotten digital spaces. Screen Walks is a collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery in London and Fotomuseum Winterthur.
