Following the events happening at the Sorbonne in May 1968, alongside general strikes and nationwide factory occupations, France's state of emergency becomes apparent through a specific iconography of visual control.\u003cbr\u003eAmong other characteristic typologies of authoritative monitoring aspects, the events in May '68 marked the historic beginning of the deployment of helicopter based aerial photography as a means of governmental crowd control in a situation of escalating insurrection. The political will to gain an unobstructed view on any individual motion pattern represented in the project leads to epistemically-new technologies that combine observation with political governance, and the use of force as recently manifested in the agency of drones and face recognition.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2019 the editorial project was awarded the FLAT Prize, for the quality of the research done and the originality of the proposal.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Idea Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555505901625,"sku":"210000001562","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/0872\/9145\/files\/81whqhawdkl.jpg?v=1790278889","url":"https:\/\/shop.icp.org\/products\/wolfgang-scheppe-taxonomy-of-the-barricade","provider":"International Center of Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
