On Saturday, April 30th, media artist Joseph DeLappe conducted a performative reading from Michel Foucault's "Discipline and Punish" in the the online video chat space "Chatroulette". The reading was specifically focused on the section of the text detailing Foucault's consideration of Bentham's theory of the panopticon. The five minute reading was part of the Low Lives 3 International Exhibition of Online Performance. http://www.lowlives.net/
It's great to see Foucault being broadcast at the ordinary person. He would have loved Chatroulette.
