The video installation Here Be Dragons (2008) utilizes surveillance footage from the Internet, focusing on desolate borders and boundaries where surveillance or webcamera technology is our main source of imagery of the land.
The installation presents this found imagery as a series of slowly rotating projections from two structures resembling watchtowers. One projector shows live-feeds from a succession of web cameras; two others display a shifting array of prerecorded sequences taken from scientific expeditions in Antarctica, military reconnaissance planes in Iraq and Afghanistan, and surveillance cameras in the desert along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Here Be Dragons was installed at The Colby College Museum from Oct 9 - Feb 1, 2008/9.
