ECHELON is thought to be a worldwide government-run intelligence network — the big Big Brother. This group exhibition, on the other hand, is concerned with the unscrupulous, grainy, and creepy kind of digital spying available to governments and artists alike. Some use video directly, as in Patrick Lichty's "wristcam" prints of security sites at LaGuardia airport, as well as Gretel Garcia's brilliant, sculptural wall installation of small dome cameras arranged to spell "hope" in Braille. Others evoke the malevolent implications of a Patriot Act-era regime, including Annette Barbier and Drew Browning's floor-projected examination of library searches, and T.W. Li's documentary about an innocent man wrongly suspected of involvement in the 2005 London terrorist attacks. (AM)
