KEEPING AN EYE ON “Love Is In The Air”, TIME LAPSE
Keeping An Eye On Surveillance Opening Night,
September 10, 2011 @ PAI, San Francisco, CA
Keeping an Eye on Surveillance, takes a comprehensive look at societal surveillance in the "post-9-11" world. Over twenty artists, working in media ranging from painting and photography to new media, explore the ever-growing encroachment of surveillance enabled by technological advances such as Google Earth, Facebook, wire-tapping, and airport security technologies. "Big Brother" is now a virtual and real phenomenon.
As a concerned observer of the evolving landscape, curator Hanna Regev believes that an exhibition on surveillance is a fitting vehicle for probing serious questions about the proliferation of the many surveillance systems in use. The artists exhibiting in "Keeping an Eye on Surveillance" explore the blurring boundaries between public space and private life, the visible and invisible, and the observer and observed. The works probe concerns regarding community and individual safety and the problems surrounding public spaces that involve watching and being watched. The exhibition seeks to underscore the need to balance our longing for security with our dedication to a free and open society.

THE LYRICS
Love Is In The Air
Love is in the air everywhere I look around
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
I don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes...
...Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun,
Love is in the air, when the day is nearly done,
And I don't know if you are illusion,
Don't know if I see truth,
But you are something that I must believe in,
And you are there when I reach out for you.
Love is in the air everywhere I look around...
