Julia Scher's work "explores issues related to electronic security." Scher creates installation pieces based on the idea of surveillance and then digitally alters the data that she collects, thus illustrating the way in which surveillance can be both faulty and altered.

Of her own work, Scher says that she first saw surveillance "in terms of looking at landscape." I find this to be interesting because landscape is often a subject in traditional painting or drawing, however, in appropriating this subject into digital media with an entirely new purpose, Scher really is making a statement about contemporary art.
