Surveillance as Cinema

If there is a true transcript of the city, it is to be found in the avant-garde vigilance of CCTV, which captures the ongoing events of modernity, 24 hours a day. It should not be security guards installing and monitoring these cameras, but architects and urban planners. Only in the minutiae of passing minutes will they discover how the city should evolve. As composer John Cage once wrote: “There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear.” 

Silicon adds : An open door is very attractive. :)
