This article contributes to the discussion around surveillance invisibility by engaging with the existing literature and discussing Salvatore Vitale’s “Persuasive System” installation as a case study. Based on the conceptualization of surveillance as a “black box,” the article frames power imbalances involved in biometrics and video surveillance technologies and shows how Vitale’s installation aims at playing with and exposing these dynamics by reconfiguring them.

通过揭露黑盒技术来挑战权力不平衡：“说服系统”作为分解当代监控的棱镜

本文通过结合现有文献并讨论 Salvatore Vitale 的“说服系统”装置作为案例研究，为围绕监视隐身性的讨论做出了贡献。基于将监控概念化为“黑匣子”的概念，文章构建了生物识别和视频监控技术中涉及的功率不平衡，并展示了 Vitale 的装置如何通过重新配置来玩弄和暴露这些动态。
