A great review of screensaver watching you –an online exhibition by Off Site Project, by Lara Chapman on Running Dog looking at the history of magic and ghost stories and the way they relate to the “haunted machines” of today.

“… the abstracted waves serve as a kind of morality tale typical of Enlightenment ghost stories—do not cross here or you will suffer. This ghost story enforces the 21st century political and capitalist norms where those who make money get to decide who is and isn’t important, what is and isn’t visible, what is and isn’t allowed. The author of the ghost story holds the power.”
