Since the birth of George Orwell - 110 years. Let's put all the surveillance cameras in holiday hats!

This is exactly the idea of ​​the original project of two creatives from the Netherlands (in general, such people are called artists , but they are not like artists, not sculptors, and not writers - in short, creatives). Bearing in mind that June 25th, it was already 110 years since the birth of George Orwell, these guys decided to mark surveillance cameras located on the streets of Utrecht. Well, and it was decided to mark them with clown headgear - such birthday men sometimes wear them on their birthday.

It is clear that the cameras will not start dancing, but the idea was not to entertain the cameras, but to show how many there are around them. Surveillance cameras have long been a part of our lives, only we do not notice them, we are used to them. In most of the new (and old too) cities in Europe, Asia, and the USA, more and more surveillance cameras appear every day. Private chambers owned by commercial companies, city chambers owned by the municipality, all kinds of equipment owned by whom it is completely incomprehensible to whom. All this is the reality of our days.





There are a huge number of cameras, and creative artists from Utrecht marked a small part of them, so that people passing by these devices still notice “electronic eyes”. We will not, of course, go into paranoia, but it still somehow becomes uncomfortable if you think about how many “eyes” are watching people.
