I have been working with Mishca Rhys Hill on his project for Electronic Arts in the last few weeks. Along side this i have also been exploring my own projects on surveillance and the use of wired and wireless surveillance equipment in our society.
While Mishca has been experimenting with a looped camera system (using a pinhole camera and a tv running off of a power inverter - see above) i have been building a portable wireless surveillance intercepting device.
I have built this so i can travel through urban space and track points that wireless, 2.4GhZ range surveillance cameras are being used in. This also allows me to monitor the signal from such cameras. Photos above >>

Alex this is an amazing path to be working along! By working in our immediate public space,(i.e. well known, well-worn Dunedin) we are brought crashing down to the reality of the sureveilled society. The image above is eerily similar in feeling to your Black Bag series, but much more chilling and immediate doe to its/this context. I'm watching with baited breath....great work.
