Part 2 of surveillance for detection - how are technologies used along physical border lines?In this episode we begin by looking at the role of the IOM as a stakeholder in tech assisted border violence, understanding their complicity & hypocrisy, and ask; what is the legacy of EU horizon projects in the Balkans?We identify some of the companies who are profiting from the militarisation of borders, how a border industrial complex has developed in Europe, and how this intersects with facilitators of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.By looking at the practicalities of border management practices on the ground alongside the landscapes of borders themselves - we try to understand both what deterrence looks like as a crucial factor within border management, and the role of surveillance technologies within this.Sound Design: Brian Mcnamara SoundGraphic Design: Marlene Janke and Dan SchoolarFor the full list of episodes, transcripts and additional resources, visit https://invisible-borders.jimdosite.com/ Hosted on Acast.
