DESCRIPTION: (Video by Manuel Platino and texts Fernando Suárez, Silence in First Degree)
...manipulation, as mediatic as much political, of the progressive taming and the death of the culture...¿control?
Dark environments, subliminal sound structures, oppression ...all wrapped in a meaningful video, which makes us discern what really lies.Work Dark made Experimental Ambient altogether with the experimental group Argentine Silence in First Degree,based on the work of Jeremy Bentham and M.Foucault (Discipline and Punish).The panopticon develops out of the need for surveillance shown in the plague. Plague measures were needed to protect society: the panopticon allows power to operate efficiently. It is a functional, permanent structure. The transition from one to another represents the move to a society in which discipline is based on observation and examination. The disciplinary society is not necessarily one with a panopticon in every street: it is one where the state controls such methods of coercion and operates them throughout society. The development of a disciplinary society involves socio-economic factors, particularly population increase and economic development.
