"They Prefer Us When We're Dead": Tiffany Sia with Sekou Campbell
Tiffany Sia presents "They Prefer Us When We're Dead," a talk drawn from a forthcoming essay that frames law as the apparatus of video as form. Sia insists that censorship, copyright, contract law, and national security and anti-terrorism laws constitute video's most consequential material substrate, shaping how images circulate, survive, and become acquired. Moving through her own overlapping positions as author, contractor, seller, rights holder, and public figure, Sia traces more broadly how different applications of the law structure risk and value unevenly across film and art contexts, and across jurisdictions. Sia will be joined in conversation by her lawyer, Sekou Campbell.
