NAEEM MOHAIEMEN  Take me off your database a project on the investigation of what he refers to as ‘hysterical conditions’… the work has been developed by the group Visible Collective with Naeem Mohaiemen and collaborating artists, activists and lawyers. Since 2004, the project has traced hyphenated identities and ideas of loyalty in times of security panic. The majority of detained migrants in post-9/11 hysteria are from the invisible underclass – shadow citizens who drive our taxis, deliver our food, clean our tables, and sell fruit, coffee, and newspapers. The only time we “see” them is when we glance at the license in the taxi partition, or the ID card around their neck. When detained, they cease to exist in the consciousness. This impulse to create an insider-outsider dynamic with “loyalty” overtones has a long pedigree: WWI incarceration of German-Americans; 1919 detention of immigrants in the Anarchist bomb scare; WWII internment of Japanese-Americans; execution of the Rosenbergs; the HUAC “red scare”; harassment of Deacons For Defense; COINTELPROinfiltration of Black Panthers; and the rise of the Minutemen militia.[disappearedinamerica.org]
