Town Hall Physical Intervention


As a way of testing the public's perception of being 'under surviellence' we devised a physical intervention to be played out in the busy Town Hall precinct.

Members of the team, armoured with digital film cameras positioned themselves on the four corners of the Town Hall intersection underneath the location of CCTV cameras. We recorded simultaneously onto the space, capturing each other filming and 'covering' any action that occurred in the space. Would people be confronted? Would they become aware that they are already under surveillence?
