surveillance, art & other things
hey guys. i thought yesterday's class was really interesting, it got me thinking about a lot of things...& yes i also found myself looking for cameras.. one that i thought was rather strange, driving along the M5 i noticed a sign saying video & audio surveillance... i cant really think as to why they would need audio, wouldnt it just pick up traffic noise?anyway... here's an artist that i think is quite relevant to the topic of surveillance... but i think it puts a rather quirky & fun twist on the whole issue! CAMERA VAN ARTIST, Harold Blank's van is covered in cameras and he drives the streets taking candid photos of people. some of which are really interesting!! another thing that i thought was relevant to the course....
ONLINE BIDDING FOR JOBS- no need to stress over a job interview anymore, simply bid online for the job you want by naming the price which you are willing to work for!
and lastly, i cant quite decide if this is funny or creepy but a gay named 'Craig' left posters all over the melbourne suburb, windsor, stating all crazy sorts of things like he may have created a time machine...most people think he's just lonely and looking for a friend. interesting way of networking! click here to see photos of some of the posters!
Maybe Craig is trying to network in that old fashioned 'live' way - ie eventually he plans to meet the people he's contacting...?
