Surreal cyberpunk installation using digital artifacts (travel videos, biometric data, surveillance symbols) with glitch patterns to subvert surveillance technology imagery. Interactive touch capacitor panel ironically appropriates fingerprint sensors—each touch changes visual scenes.

Conceptual Framework:

• Glitch Feminism (Legacy Russell): Glitches as refusal—body escapes binary classification

• Queer Atlas Theory: Counter-cartography creating alternative geographies

• Surveillance symbols (fingerprints, eye scans, location markers) melt into fluid, unquantifiable imaginary landscapes

Key Innovation: Technology repurposed for liberation, not control. Participatory interaction embodies anti-surveillance principles—collective emergence over individual monitoring.

Contribution to RNI Research: Establishes critical frameworks essential for ethical neurotechnology. If building brain-computer interfaces, must ensure they resist surveillance paradigms from ground up. Glitch feminism provides methodology: build in refusal, maintain fluidity, prioritize emotional sovereignty.

Technologies: TouchDesigner, Arduino, capacitive touch sensors, projection mapping
