BodyCamObscura

BodyCamObscura replaces body camera surveillance technology with antiquated lensless cameras to subvert the intention of surveillance by translating surveilled information into abstraction. Made while walking with a pinhole camera strapped to the artist’s body, the project captures the duration of a dérive as one long exposure onto color film. Thus time, movement, light, and surveillance are compressed into a flattened and abstracted two-dimensional document: a photograph.

DashCamObscura

DashCamObscura replaces dashboard camera surveillance technology with antiquated lensless cameras to subvert the intention of surveillance by translating surveilled information into abstraction. Made while driving with a pinhole camera mounted to the dashboard, the project captures the duration of a dérive as one long exposure onto color film.  Thus time, movement, light, and surveillance are compressed into a flattened and abstracted two-dimensional document: a photograph.
