CCTV sabotage.

London Bridge, London, United Kingdom (UK) 1998.

FIXED VIEWPOINT - Counter Surveillance.
After a careful and detailed study of the surveyed control
zones of the inner city, a campaign of cctv system sabotage
via optical illusion will be undertaken.

The aim is to create dis-belief in the mind of the security
operator, so that they will no longer be able to rely on the
illusion of security, by adding multiple versions of myself
on their screens appearing in different places, not only in
their area, or city, but internationally.

Relying on the fact that, even though the latest cameras can
pan and focus very effectively they still only have a fixed
view point thus making them very vunerable to tricks of
perspective.

So for instance, a distorted black and white image lying
flat on the pavement, either stenciled or fly-postered, can
appear on the cctv monitor screen as a solid standing
figure.
