The Panopticon is a circular prison design by Jeremy Bentham in 1785, that allows a single observer to monitor all inmates without them knowing when they are being watched, promoting self-regulation and control.
Panopticon is a series born from the friction between classical art and digital surveillance. It’s where Vermeer meets the ‘Follow’ button, and where history’s most iconic moments are rebranded as content performance.
