劇情簡介
這部諷刺作品則以五段教程演示了在大量數據採集和視野監控的背景下個人保持隱身的種種策略。例如她建議採取偽裝技術、被像素化處理或者讓自己成為圖像。影片反思了監控人群、干預其自然經驗方面史無前例的技術可能性和邊緣化人群在社會和政治領域的隱身狀態之間的懸殊差異。藝術家本人在此扮演著教師和魔術師的雙重角色，通過互動的傳統和數字電影特效將演說的論點視覺化。作為影片旁白機器人聲的學究口吻強調了這些課程貌似說教的特徵。在風格方面，它吸收了電影散文傳統，又聯繫到史德耶爾針對移動影像主題發表的豐富論文與演講。
Steyerl’s HOW NOT TO BE SEEN: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File is what its title purports it to be: a sly parody of an instructional video (the first part of the title borrowed from a Monty Python sketch). Each of the work’s four sections outlines some tongue-in-cheek strategies to avoid being seen—from hiding in plain sight, to shrinking down to a unit smaller than a pixel, to living in a gated community, to being female and over 50 years old. A seemingly automated male voice reads out the instructions in a droll English accent, and Steyerl herself, along with several faceless figures (the kind you’d see in a simulated architectural model), demonstrate the proposed methods. Many of them, like to shrink, to swipe, and to take a picture, are accompanied by gestures familiar from the iPhone—pointing to the fact that the bodies in question here exist in (and take their choreographic cues from) a world that’s at once virtual and material.
