Throughout their practice Varvara & Mar have been researching and reflecting on the surveillance and dataveillance age, where each like, move, click, search, message, export, import, forward, send, purchase, location, and even more is monitored and used for various purposes.

The artists explore the politics of surveillance capitalism in their work.
