Description
Join the City of Agoura Hills for an evening at the Wende. First, take a staff led tour of the Wende at 2:30pm. Then explore the Counter/Surveillance: Control, Privacy, Agency exhibit. “Counter/ Surveillance: Control, Privacy, Agency" traces the historical roots of modern surveillance devices, the Cold War dynamics that shaped and spread them. This exhibit shows how artists critically and creatively reclaimed their agency by how they responded to or evaded these technologies. This exhibition presents an overview of Cold War-era surveillance practices using historical artifacts and artworks from the Wende Museum and other collections, including facial recognition training materials used by East German border guards in the 1970s and 1980s and other parts of the Wende. Finally, explore the rest of the Wende before returning to the Recreation Center.
Pacific Standard Time Art is a collection of exhibitions that explore some of the most urgent problems of our time through past and present connections between art and science in a series of exhibitions, public programs, and other resources. These exhibitions will explore “topics like ancient cosmologies, Indigenous sci-fi, environmental justice, and artificial intelligence”
