Intro

[15:00] Surveillance Cameras NYC

Surveillance cameras are a common sight in most urban areas, including public transit stations, shopping centers, and streets. A group in New York City, called the Surveillance Camera Players perform theatre and hold up text on placards with messages for those monitoring the cameras. They also conduct tours, pointing out the hidden video monitors.

One of the founders of the group, Bill Brown, speaks on Red Eye about the history behind their work and the reactions from the public.
