    The 30th Volume of The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education is unprecedented, in many ways. First the theme is unprecedented, or, rather, Un(predecedent)ED.

These are just a few of the interpretations of the volume theme, which each of the authors addresses in a unique manner. Some approach the theme head on, while others choose a more oblique angle of analysis and exploration. Some deal with unprecedented events and actions, while others discuss historical examples, analyzing the development of precedence in art educational practice, and offering suggestions for novel forms of research, pedagogy, and artmaking

Now, you can have eyes everywhere! No corner of your classroom is out of your gaze. The \u27Pedagopticon\u27 offers a full 360 degrees of monitoring, all viewed with ease on the patented teacher \u27pod-eye-um\u27. No more tedious scanning for hands eager to complete your thought! No more talk of \u27proximity\u27 or \u27engagement.\u27 With the Pedagopticon, you just sit back and let the images come to you. Pedagopticon: We put the eyes in instruction! (This piece is satire; although the references point to the fact that, while the technologies described are fantasy, the mechanisms behind them are all too real. The author would like to thank the organizers of the 2004 New Forms Festival, Vancouver, BC, for the opportunity to perform this paper as part of the conference.
