Marcos Zotes: CCTV/Creative Control
Loading...
Uploaded by Metacitizen on Oct 4, 2011
CCTV/Creative Control seeks to question the oppressive mechanisms and discourses implemented in the city through the temporary appropriation of public space. The intervention consists of a video projection displaying an over-sized eye onto the lower surface of the 10-storey-high Milton Street water tower in Brooklyn, New York. Still the highest point in the area, until it is dwarfed by new gentrification plans, the water tower exists as a relic of the neighbourhood's industrial past. The intervention temporarily transforms this iconic landmark into a discernible CCTV tower, raising questions of private control over public space in the urban context.
CCTV/Creative Control was exhibited as part of Nuit Blanche: Bring to Light New York 2011 in Brooklyn, New York.
Marcos Zotes is an architect and artist from Madrid, who lives and works in New York and Reykjavik.
