Pubis and Counter-Pubis, a multi-media installation by Katarina Tarrant addresses the shifting of the balance of power between genders. Using her direct female gaze to irritate or disrupt male voyeuristic practices, Tarrant sparks an anxiety in her male viewers, which offers for males a chance to end oppressive patriarchal discourses in themselves. In order to do so, however one has to be prepared to take up the challenge, face their castration complex and existential darkness. Tarrant here is the Achilles heal of patriarchy, burying the phallus and unearthing it in a ceremony of symbolic death to mark discourses on gender and the claiming/ reclaiming of power. A surrogate for handling fear, Tarrant does this herself through various forms of media including video and analogue works, inviting her viewers to do the same.

Many on the political right simply can’t get this diversity thing right — and I deeply doubt that they want to. Theirs is a bone-deep contempt for otherness, a congenital belief in the superiority-inferiority binary, a circle-the-wagons, zero-sum view of progress, prosperity and power.
Memoto Is a Life-Logging Camera That Snaps a Five-Megapixel Picture Every 30 Seconds | MIT Technology Review
A startup believes people will want a photographic record of their lives, taken at 30-second intervals.
Remember that?: Memoto’s clip-on camera has 8 GB of memory.
“We want to provide people with a perfect photographic memory,” says Martin Källström, CEO of Memoto. His startup is creating a tiny clip-on camera that takes a picture every 30 seconds, capturing whatever you are looking at, and then applies algorithms to the resulting mountain of images to find the most interesting ones.
Just 36 by 36 by 9 millimeters, the inconspicuous plastic camera has a lot crammed inside. The most important component is a five-megapixel image sensor originally designed for mobile phones. An ARM 9 processor running Linux powers a program that wakes the device twice a minute; takes a picture and a reading from the GPS sensor, accelerometer, and magnetometer; and promptly puts the device back to sleep.
