CCTVs are all pervasive now, especially in the UK. 1984 was only 20 years too late. Print available here
Who’s watching the watchers? / There are up to 4.2 million CCTV cameras in Britain – about one for every 14 people… / London has 10,000 crime-fighting CCTV cameras which cost £200 million. But analysis of the publicly funded spy network, has cast doubt on its ability to help solve crime. In fact, four out of five of the boroughs with the most cameras have a record of solving crime that is below average.
Now GONE!! Painted over – now this is just a white wall.
Are multiple overlapping CCTV Cameras getting you down? Does the thought of not just stereo 3-D capture of you walking down a perfectly normal street in daylight, but three if not more multiple freaking angles increasingly annoy you? Are you willing to let even more civil liberties slide by? Damnit, just swallow this capsule and let yourself be microchipped already. It’ll solve a lot of problems, and if nothing else a lot of people who are paid to monitor the things will be able to get some sunlight again. Remember : if you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?
Move along. Move along…. A less-political work incorporating the proliferation of CCTV cameras in London than others I could work on…
Your government is watching you. All. The. Time. Also available as a print here

My entry for the London Calling challenge. I found this difficult as I’ve never been to London to get a real ‘feel’ for the place, but here’s my two-cents worth: I have given a big nod towards graffiti/street art with the general style of the piece (line work, spray marks and drips) the London skyline gets a look in I couldn’t resist the CCTV camera robot (paranoid android?) with London having over 100 000 cameras throughout the city and finally I’ve included a large rain cloud in reference to the grey, overcast and generally miserable weather. I can’t decide on a colour – according to the challenge we should have one colour option for the shirt – so feel free to let me know what colour you think works best :) Detail: /
When we stop caring we’ve lost the battle.
Glasgow, Scotland, 2005. A bit of a rework of an image that was originally created as part of a quadtych series – “Vanishing Point (#’s1-4)” – entered into the Nikon Summer Salon back in 2004 – (now called the Kodak Salon). Was beside myself – read; totally friggin stoked! when the series was awarded – “Best Digital Photomedia Work” The Kodak Salon is now Australia’s largest open entry photomedia exhibition held at The Centre for Contemporary Photography, Fitzroy, Melbourne.
Take two of this t-shirt. Thanks to those who gave me input!
