The CITY : STATE  Network and Surveillance Unit of the UTS Community
Law & Legal Research Centre are compiling a reader of critical materials
on/around surveillance to coincide with the upcoming conference:

CITY STATE : flow / capture / control / rupture
- a critical forum on surveillance and social control -
July 20 2002 : Horti Hall, Melbourne

The CITY STATE reader is an attempt to go beyond the continual silence
of governments, industry and conservative privacy organisations by
mapping the different ways surveillance is reconfiguring social space,
power and the ways that we live, and tracing critical paths of
understanding and response.

The only real restriction on contributions at this stage is that they be:
* brief (500 - 2000w)
* sent to us by 10th June 2002
* critical - i.e., providing new (beyond privacy) insights into how
surveillance works/is used in informatic environments.

Academic/Artistic/Activistic creations and reflections that are
surveillance related are all welcome.
