Dear All, i have an exciting news from MK FOTO!  Please register to excursion in frame of seminars Counter Surveillance & Colonial Gaze by our new Vertretungprof.Adam Broomberg 23-28.10.2023 We will start the seminars with picking olives with Baha Hilo, the director of The Citadel in Bethlehem. We will spend a day with Baha picking olives and then we will also visit the Al Badawi tree which is between 4,500-5,000 years old that is close to Bethlehem. We will attend a screening at Dar Jacir hosted by Emily Jacir and Nicolas Jaar. We will also visit Issa Amro who lives in Hebron (H2) and visit his trees which are over 2000 years old. We will discuss the idea of counter-surveillance there. Since Hebron is the most surveilled territory on the planet we will talk about a project we started (as Artist + Allies x Hebron), which sought to invent a counter-surveillance gaze. The gaze of a surveillance camera is a malevolent one. It seeks to control, to humiliate and to intrude on ones privacy. This together with AI apps like Blue Wolf, which the IDF and Settlers use to scan every Palestinian, who is using their mobile phone, which means they are constantly monitored and surveilled. We came up with the idea of building small cameras using rasberry pi'es, which will be placed in various olive groves, and that stream the trees in real time to various intstutions and websites so people around the world can help protect them. The olive tree is of such economic, social, juridical and totemic importnace to the Palestinain people that they are called "anchors in the Landscape" by the Israeli Authorities. And they are uprooted or they are burned down at every opportunity. 1 million of these ‚live‘ ancient indigenous citizens archives have been burned down since 1967 by illegal Jewish settlers or by Israeli authorirites. Meanwhile 240 million non-indigenous pine trees have been planted in Palestine by the Jewish National Fund since 1948. Zvi Efrat, former head of Bezalel Architecture school showed in his PhD thesis that the forests that were planted in an effort to ''make the desert bloom" were systematically planted on the sites of the 500+ Arab villages that were forcibly evacuated during the Nakba of 1948. This is a trick that the Ziomist learned from the Poles and the Germans. Pine forests grow fast and they turn forensic crime scenes into places that look like they've been there since the jurassic periods in no time. Rubble become ancient stones from the Bible. To reinforce this, the forests were all called names like "The Martyrs Forest" or "The Forest of the Six Million" turning the crime scenes into memorial spaces where families gather with picnics to honour the martyrs of the Holocaust and furhter entrench the narrative of the need for the state of Israel to exist to preserve the Jewish people.
