Interpretive dance about surveillance state from @toninagy

The creator performs an interpretive dance on a wooden path in a forest while delivering a monologue. She argues that society has become a surveillance and police state designed to control people's minds, citing technology and mutual observation as tools of control. She questions the recent increase in surveillance, directly addresses "Big Brother," and concludes that the system is collapsing, which is why control is tightening.

Transcript excerpt

Why are you following me, big brother? Because the system is collapsing.
