AMY ALEXANDER- SVEN (SURVEILLANCE VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK)
THIS WORK, CREATED IN 2006, WAS AN ATTEMPT TO DECONSTRUCT WHAT SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS ARE USED FOR. INSTEAD OF PICKING OUT PEOPLE PASSING BY AND DETECTING WHETHER OR NOT THEY LOOK LIKE A "CRIMINAL", IT
DETECTS WHETHER YOU LOOK LIKE A ROCKSTAR. IT PAIRS THE PASSING PEDESTRIANS WITH IMAGES AND VIDEOS OF ROCKSTARS AND POP ICONS, INSERTING THEM INTO MUSIC VIDEOS AND STAGES.
CREATED BOTH AS A ON SITE INSTALLATION AND AS A MOBLE VAN (THE SVAN) THIS WORK OF ART REPURPOSES THE IDEA OF HOW WE SHOULD USE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE.
