ShootingBack
Shooting Back is a protest against the ubiquitous "security" camera, and an
exploration of the privacy issues of wearable cameras versus surveillance
cameras. The concept is simple: a person armed with a portable (more
recently, wearable) video camera enters an area in which she is monitored -
against her will - by a business or other institution. She then simply films
the filmers, taking footage of ceiling-mounted cameras (such as the one
pictured here, at the Park Street stop on the Boston subway system),
closed-circuit televisions, and employees. Surveillance
by private individuals often turns out to be treated quite differently from
surveillance of them....
