Intercept is a large scale video installation, comprised of 9 monitors with playback of edited footage obtained from a global selection of unsecured network cameras. There is also a live CCTV local loop within the installation.
Several hours of footage was recorded from unsecured global network cameras accessed over the internet and through the videosniffing process. This footage was edited to remove all people and a 9 disc DVD series was looped on monitors embedded in the installation which mimicked the aesthetic and technical structure of a CCTV control room, the absent protaganist having stepped away from the master control chair.
The installation housed 9 x video monitors, 9 x dvd players, computer, wireless CCTV cameras, wood, MDF, conduit, cables, a hydraulic barber’s chair, a safe, ventilation system and polythene coverings.
