Hiya Loonies... Today we meet some people with an all-new approach to CCTV and surveillance cameras...this was sent in by Kathleen... Wishes & Dreams... - ANDREA xx ******* THE LOONY BIN **** loonies@bloodaxe.com ******* Archive: http://www.theloonies.co.uk/ *********** ANDROMEDA **** Internet Goddess *********** ------- Forwarded foolishness follows ------- >From the National Post, Jan 3, 2003 (p. AL6) Neil Hrab How do you like being watched? - World Sousveillance Day - Activists turn the tables on surveillance cameras. The New York Surveillance Camera Players have pioneered an interesting form of protest to being under constant surveillance by security cameras in public places; they perform specially adapted versions of famous plays under their unblinking gaze. The SCP troupe has played many times since 1996 to anonymous audiences of New York policemen and private security guards who monitor the cameras. Their web site <http://www.notbored.org/the-scp.html> has useful information for those thinking of staging their own security camera dramas. To perform Beckett's Waiting for Godot, for example, SCP says you will need to have "two actors, wearing signs that identify them as ESTRAGON and VLADIMIR, respectively, sit or kneel beneath a third actor who is wearing a sign that says THE TREE." The directions are simple: "Estragon and Vladimir knock each other around, switch positions, chase each other around the tree, etc." The SCP's amusing site has additional synopses for works by Orwell, Poe and Jerzy Kosinski.
