Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen

Exhibition Website

Feb 22 2019 - Jun 2 2019

Artist Trevor Paglen’s work explores surveillance, state secrecy, data collection, and the ways in which technology is altering humans’ relationship with the land around us. His subtly unnerving photographs are rooted in classical landscape tradition, but reveal manmade objects such as a drone, a communications satellite, or a covert operations station. These images make visible the invisible, revealing a world where technology returns our gaze and the natural world is altered to hide the infrastructure of surveillance.

Trevor Paglen: Sites Unseen is the first major career survey for the artist in the United States and includes 93 works of photography, video, sculpture, and found objects. Several of the Paglen’s best-known photography series will be presented in their entirety. A new installation of video and images made using facial recognition algorithms, entitled “How to See Like a Machine,” will be on public view for the first time.
