Oh yeah? Well here's 29, beeyatch

I took this picture at a building on 2nd Avenue at 46th Street this afternoon. The sign was between two doors, opposite which was a line of surprisingly comfortable benches I'd stopped at. I've always had an issue with surveillance - jeez I even actually read 'Discipline and Punish' and Bentham. But there's something so comic about the overkill on this one. Video and audio? 28 or more cameras? Why don't you stick one in my pants?

Now that I take pictures more or less at will while tooling around New York, I'm aware of being a part of a fully distributed surveillance apparatus. So is everyone with a bloody phone. I think it's worth exploiting this fissure in the old power dynamic. Feels good.
