surveillance camera players

the surveilance camera players are a group of artists/activists which provide CCTV cameras with something to film. through a combination of street performance and signage they create tv programs for those watching the cameras and more importantly those passing who find themselves alerted to the presence of specific cameras employed for the production

"Surveillance society, which is an imminent reality, must be critiqued and attacked concurrently. Guerrilla programming is direct: it is a simultaneous exposure of the oppressive system and subversion of that system to inform the oppressors (and anyone else who may be watching us) of their own ridiculousness and complicity. As theory and practice must occur simultaneously, so must critique and subversion. Guerilla programming is go!"

-- M. Carter, 1995.
