Presented by the UCL Urban Laboratory and The Leverhulme Trust, 'Virtual Control - Security and the Urban Imagination' focuses on urban environments that are nominally public, but owned and managed by commercial entities. Elements of the exhibition explore how carefully camouflaged surveillance technology is used to monitor these areas, and, potentially, to manipulate behaviour, whilst other sections repurpose 'photorealistic' imagery, marketing material and 3D animation techniques used to present idealised versions of these urban environments.
The exhibition is open from Thursday 9 July - Sunday 27 September. Free entry.
