A six-foot air traffic control tower and an eight-foot camera on a floating dolly dominate the installation - looming like B movie monsters over the city. In this architecture of power, these largest structures act as Panopticons - enforcing obedience through the fear of being caught. In an age when individuals compete for the opportunity to live under the eye of Big Brother, when constant scrutiny is reserved for our most lauded celebrities, and the street-mounted video-feeds comfort anxious residents of our suburbs, it seems as though no one wants to live outside the camera's gaze. *
