Surveillance Chic




This clever piece of art-cum-limited edition consumer purchasable won't actually record your roommate dipping into your weed supply or your nanny punching your croupy baby while you're at work, but it will illuminate a room so that you can comfortably read Discipline and Punish with a supremely smug expression on your face. Way cooler than our ramshackle petticoat chandelier, to be sure.

hi, and thanks, jen thunder! (awesome name, btw)

sorry for the late response, but to answer your question, I only moonlight in the blogosphere. IRL I'm finishing my dissertation and teaching a class on popular cultural criticism at a local bay area college. (but oh how'd I'd love to be at FIT in NYC!)
