Surveillance BuddyLoss Prevention
''[[Inspiration]]'':
The inspiration for this project stems from the teddy bears that parents can buy and place in their children's rooms to monitor the babysitter's interaction with them while the parents area away. While discussing this with a friend we came to a realization/question: why do parents have to hide the fact they're trying to protect their kid?
Another one One of the art projects which inspired my inspirations final concept is an early Amy Alexander 's surveillance art pieces--specifically SVEN. Her art used surveillance cameras and made a commentary on surveillance installation in our everyday lives.http://amy-alexander.com/Alexander_Installation.html Another art piecethat inspired my final project is Rejane Cantoni's Mona Visa. Her art piece reverses that idea of the viewer and the viewed. I liked the idea that the painting would follow the viewers as they walked around the gallery. An interesting reversal of roles.http://www.rejanecantoni.com/monavisa.html
