Surveillance Camera Players - Ubu Roi
Crean el grupo "Surveillance Camera Players," basado en el "Manifesto para la guerrila de reprogramacion de los equipos de videovigilancia” Su primera performance fue el 10 de diciembre de 1996 Adaptaron Ubu Rey de Alfred Jarry frente las cámaras de una estación de metro hasta que llegó la policía y evitó que terminaran la representación: fue su primer éxito. Los objetivos de SCP son protestar por el uso de camaras de videovigilancia en los espacios publicos y unir arte y politica, inspirándose en los escándalos causados por la internacional situacionista
Andrea Zapp - Little Sister
Andrea Zapp la define "la primera telenovela en el mundo basada en un circuito de web-cams de vigilancia, on line las 24 horas del día". El proyecto, que reflexiona sobre la proliferación de los sistemas de control, se compone de un set de 26 videocámaras que transmiten en tiempo real imágenes de la vida cotidiana de una ciudad alemana. Little Sister es una prueba de que en la actualidad las videocámaras diseminadas por las ciudades de Occidente graban buena parte de nuestras vidas.
Bruce Nauman - Live-Taped Video Corridor
In the closed-circuit installation «Live/Taped Video Corridor», a study from the Performance Corridor work group, Nauman set two monitors above one another at the end of a corridor almost ten meters long and only 50 cm wide. The lower monitor features a videotape of the corridor. The uppermost monitor shows a closed-circuit tape recording of a camera at the entrance to the corridor, positioned at a height of about three meters. On entering the corridor and approaching the monitors, you quickly come under the area surveyed by the camera. But the closer you get to the monitor, the further you are from the camera, with the result that your image on the monitor becomes increasingly smaller. Another cause of irritation: you see yourself from behind. Moreover, the feeling of alienation induced by walking away from yourself is heightened by your being enclosed in a narrow corridor. Here, rational orientation and emotional insecurity clash with each other. A person thus monitored suddenly slips into the role of someone monitoring their own activities.
Bruce Nauman - Video Surveillance Piece.
You first experience the installation «Video Surveillance Piece: Public Room, Private Room» by entering a small room. In one corner, there is a monitor placed at floor level. It screens a camera pan of the room. Positioned on the ceiling a camera diagonally opposite films the situation. When attempting to see yourself on the monitor, you soon discover you only appear via another monitor. You see yourself in a monitor which features another monitor image – namely the movements in the room you are in. At this point things start to grate with customary perception for the experimentation with simultaneous transmission evolves into active observation and being under surveillance.
When you walk around the outside of the installation you soon find that it is twice the size of the room you first entered. Typically, Nauman’s title provides a solution to this riddle. The video surveillance occurs in two rooms: a public and a private one. The rooms are adjoining and of equal size. Indeed, the private room is so private it lacks access. Or so it would seem: since this room is also monitored by identical surveillance equipment, its events are likewise transmitted to the outside world.
