PUBLICS consists of a series of Nest security cameras arranged in groupings that will be reconfigured around the galleries throughout the exhibition. Roney has circulated private access links to immigrant communities that activate these cameras. This allows immigrants access to the exhibition without having to physically enter the Museum. By turning control of these cameras over to a heavily surveilled community, Roney flips the use of the technology to enable access into the space of the Museum without revealing the users’ identities.
