 The Presidio Modelo, Cuba
This site is all about the "Panoptic" and "surveillance society" and runs in tandem with my Digital Culture course at the University of Aberdeen. This website will address some of the issues involved whilst also demonstrating some practical examples through video footage, images and various other sites. Vintage Paint acts as a companion piece to a thirty minute film I made with my other colleagues on the course, some of which will be available here. Throughout these pages you can find links embeded in each post whlist you can find an easy to navigate menu on the right covering the different aspects of this site.
 "F house" in Stateville Prison, Illinois, USA.The name of this site comes from the first film we watched on the course, Vantage Point - where numerous different viewpoints were seen, all covering one moment in time. This trope comes from the Panopticon (pictures of which you can see above), devised by Jeremy Bentham and can still be seen today through CCTV cameras - another major feature of our film work. We were asked to film one place in Aberdeen for one minute with no movement - as if we were the proverbial CCTV camera. As a starter, you can see my short film One Minute In The Life Of A CCTV Camera below.
