Zac Blas is an artist, writer, and theorist whose work critically examines the intersections of technology, surveillance, and identity, often through a queer and speculative lens. Working across moving image, performance, and installation, Blas interrogates how systems of power shape visibility and control in the digital age.Central to his work is an engagement with Édouard Glissant’s concept of opacity—the idea that identity has a right to remain unknowable, irreducible, and resistant to the demand for transparency. Blas engages this idea as a form of resistance against the extractive nature of biometric surveillance and algorithmic governance— positioning opacity as a tactic of autonomy, not exclusion and as a powerful strategy of refusal, autonomy, and creative dissent.
