Brief description
In workshops together with the participants the artist group buildsĀ video signal receivers and video recording devices. equipped with these DIY seeing machines they conduct "Derives" and stroll around the city capturing surveillance footage. The intrusive nature of the surveillance cameras are subverted from surveillance (looking from above) to sousveillance (looking from below). In this context machine vision becomes empowering as the devices allow highjacking the power and control related to watching from above.
