“Fear belongs in the topology of enjoyment, and horror is also on the psychological road map of voyeurism. Terror and voyeurism, joy and fear are rings of a common geometry. This geometry shapes the topology of contemporary and future society.

Jordan Crandall is the first artist who gives us a vision of this geometry, an insight into a dark zone of new pleasures and pains within a techno-militaristic controlled society. His vision of the armed vision of today comments on the “fear studies” that accompany the transformations of American society.

Crandall's cinema shows the Janus-head of the panoptic principle, from which the cinema arose: seeing and being seen, visual pleasure and paranoia. His art shows us the two roots of the cinematographic experience and its dangerous future in a media society based on armed vision.” - Peter Weibel http://jordancrandall.com/main/index.html
