An other conspicuous flavour of London
is the enormous monitoring. „Closed-Circuit” in this case (CCTV) refers to
operational technicality; Although I focused on capturing what the monitors on buses on my route (a
closed circuit) show. I was aslo
exciting by the „self edited” structure of the video which I appropriated.
Exhibited it in a TV shop (Sanjeev's
TV Shop group exhibiton, S & S Electronics 37 Camberwell Church Street
London SE5 8TR, 16th-20th March 2011.) ; The new point of
view generated a harsh discussion about privacy, originality, authority, and
property.
„A typical Londoner makes an estimated 300 closed-circuit
television (CCTV) appearances a day, an average easily met in the short walk
between Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament.”
Thanks for the photos to Remty Elenga and Rajee Sukumaran and Tilly Metcalfe for organizing.
