Surveillance In The City [Pt 2]

This week in the Digital Culture course we've been looking at surveillance and CCTV with particular reference to the film Red Road. The effectiveness of our surveillance culture has been brought into question along with the ethics of it. But here the images are slightly more light~hearted - taking a satirical swipe at the objects so coveted by consumers. The retail items are so desirable that even the cameras cannot help but look on; disavowing themselves of their actual function. Is there someone behind the lens? In a control room? Or have these weapons of mass consumerism transcended into the digital realm? Do robot cameras dream of Gucci bags? Click on the pictures, detailing shop windows from various Louis Vuitton stores from around the world, below for bigger versions. To see Part 1, click HERE.
