Anti-Oculus is a psychedelic trip through the eyes of
power, exploring avenues of escaping systems of control in our
cyberpunk reality.
Anti-Oculus
is a work of conceptual espionage: an assemblage of polemical tracts
complete with a gallery of graphic illustrations inspired by
postmodern and pulp classics from Anti-Oedipus to Ways of Seeing.
Through the concept of “Ocularity”, the Acid Horizon crew trace
the political, medical, and historical ways power sees us through its
categories of control and counter-insurgency.
From
the thermodynamics of policing in the cyberpunk present, to the
psychiatric colonization of the image, to bodies that “go astray”
in an increasingly reactionary society; Anti-Oculus
maps out the ways we are captured under the eyes of cyber-capital,
and provokes us to find each other in pursuit of emancipation,
community, and new forms of life.
