August 19 - The Spectatorship Issue 

As we learn from quantum physics, looking at the world can change how it behaves. Whether we do it alone or in a group, watching, seeing and viewing are all powerful acts. The pandemic threw the possibilities of collective spectatorship into disarray. And facemasks made us all less visible, and yet increasingly reliant on eye contact for communication. Now opening up, what have we learnt about watching and being watched? What new viewing practices will emerge? Crowd are taking a look.
