Anything But Square: Under Surveillance

  • Free
  • Festival

This winter at Fed Square enter a hair-raising, spine-tingling world – where we are watched, everywhere, all the time. Our phones, our homes are listening. Our streets, our devices are watching.

At Fed Square's Anything But Square: Under Surveillance program these murky feelings of awkwardness and intrigue are playfully explored – the push and pull of the desire to know and the desire to be deceived.

Experience The Eyes, a colossal, sprawling sculptural dystopia of creepy eyes by artist studio Cool Shit. Discover your own discomfort zone as The Eyes watch you watching them.

Check out the film festival, a secret workshops program, and dance like you're at an end of the world party at Fed Live: Dance Dystopia with live DJ sets each Friday night, plus more.
