Artist Elysa D. Batista created sculptural text acts as an inanimate presence watching over the viewer. You, Me and the Oher is a text work paired with footage taken from a live feed camera installed on Lincoln Road Mall, only blocks away from ArtCenter/South Florida. Through this work Batista exposes our lack of privacy and the overwhelming presence of social surveillance in today’s world.
