TREVOR PAGLEN: SEMIOTICS OF THE HIDDEN EMPIRE
by Jill Dawsey
Recently, I met the former mayor of Salt Lake City, Rocky Anderson, perhaps best known, while he was in office, for his efforts to garner support for the impeachment of George W. Bush. In the course of our conversation, he mentioned a book that he had just read: Trevor Paglen and A.C. Thompson’s Torture Taxi: On the Trail of the CIA’s Rendition Flights.

Its projects are a result of interactions between collective members and collaborators who bring new areas of expertise to the group. spurse facilitates belonging and involvement by asking people from various disciplines and backgrounds to work together to develop new ways of seeing and understanding our relationship to our environment. Refuting the Cartesian notion of individualism, it has facilitated projects, exhibitions, performances, lectures, seminars and workshops that ask participants to rethink current concepts of knowledge and being.
