Ever feel like someone is watching you? In the Great Britain, there is one surveillance for every six people in the country. To explore issues of surveillance, the Spanish artist SpY recently installed 150 CCTV cameras on a building façade in Madrid The fake security cameras were put up to “not watch over anything,” as the artist writes on his website.
SpY has been doing projects in urban spaces for over twenty years starting with graffiti and public intervention art. His ideas stems from the observation of the city and how to use irony and humor to get others to think.
You can see more images of the making and installation of the piece, and see others of SpY’s work on his website.
