Sicherheitsglaeser: Sicherheit Zuerst (Safetyglasses: Safety First) Steve Mann, University of Toronto 10 King's College Road, Toronto, Ontario Canada, M5S 1A4 The "safetyglasses" provide a literal embodiment of the reflectionist philosophy of cultural criticism (holding a "mirror" up to society). Reflectionism borrows from the situationist tradition of detournement (re-situating ordinary everyday objects in a disorienting fashion in order to challenge our pre-conceived notions and cultural biases), yet not only appropriates the tools of the opressor but also "reflects" these same tools back at the opressor. Furthermore, in addition to letting the opressor see himself/herself in a "mirror", reflectionism also creates a symmetry. In addition to being a metaphorical emobiment of reflecitonism the glasses are also a literal embodiment of this "mirror". Quite literally the person standing in front of me IRL sees himself/herself upon the computer screen that is attached to my eyeglasses, facing out. The glasses reflect from a website mirror what is actually present. Safetyglasses and other `reflectionist' performances attempt to ``mirror'' the principles of visual surveillance, such as the principle that it often arises from a higher and unquestionable authority.
