Ghost Agency: Digital Sanctuaries

At the intersection of art, technology, and humanitarian inquiry, this book provides insight into Ghost Agency's desire for agency across artistic reasearch, institutions, and civic life in the digital age. Gathering voices, reflections, and methodologies from their network of collaborators, this collection of texts addresses what it means to be safe in an era shaped by digital surveillance, outlining an artistic practice that also functions as an immersive research investigation. Under the name and notion of a Ghost Agency Gro Sarauw and Anni Garza Lau set out to explore how gender violence and what they term techno-impunity converge in systemic patterns of abuse and injustices in the digital age - principally for women and the enviornment. In this context, the vulnerability of Mexican women under femicide points to the requirement for a wider literacy of technological surveillance as a pressing contemporary condition.
