Third Thursday: Pecha Kucha Night

7–9 PM
Tickets are $5, which includes gallery admission from 5–9 PM (free to members)

In our post-9/11 world, the term “surveillance” encompasses much more than the old notion of spies lurking in dark alleys. Massive 21st century data collection programs have opened the doors to a dizzying array of digital surveillance techniques. Who is watching us? How are they watching you? Have security and privacy become mutually exclusive? Join SJMA and Pecha Kucha San Jose for fast-paced, fun presentations by a variety of experts and activists who will address these issues.

Speakers include

Tessa D'Arcangelew, American Civil Liberties Union
Chris Garcia, Computer History Museum
Michelle Maranowski, The Tech Museum of Innovation
David Schuster, San Jose State University
Ralph Simpson, History San Jose
Chris Treggiari, co-creator of Eyes on Oakland
Ali Winston, Center for Investigative Reporting

Ric Bretschneider, Moderator, Pecha Kucha San Jose

Covert Operations: Investigating the Known Unknowns

–

As we pass the second anniversary of shocking revelations about widespread, international data collection, security and privacy have become everyday concerns. Covert Operations is the first survey of work by artists who are responding to the uncertainties of the post-9/11 world. They employ the tools of democracy to bear witness to attacks on liberty and to the abuse of power: they reveal previously unreported information and government actions that may limit civil rights.
