Publisher Note

Surveillance always deals with projections; with expected or imagined threats and with resentments. Influenced by conscious or subconscious bias, images are crafted, crimes are suggested, and ultimately whole stories are written. The agent for the secret police acts here as author, director, dramaturge, and scenographer all wrapped up in one. The work M. D. trinkt abends gerne ein Bier is a fictional story based on a collection of surveillance protocols. Through a text co-­written by an artificial intelligence software, the work shines a spotlight on the state watchdog (rather than the person being spied upon) to examine the creative and suggestive potential of surveillance.
