Who is Jill Magid?

Jill Magid is an American artist and writer. In Magid's work, she forms intimate relationships with systems of power, including police, secret service, CCTV and forensics. Countering the wide-angle, depersonalizing operations of such entities. Magid seeks – in her own words – "the potential softness and intimacy of their technologies, the fallacy of their omniscient point of view, the ways in which they hold memory, their engrained position in society, their authority, their apparent intangibility and, with all of this, their potential reversibility."
