Artist Statement
This work is about reclamation of spaces and cultures from surveillance technologies. In our contemporary American landscape, we are under the ever-growing eyes of security cameras, digital algorithms, and police infrastructure. Security Cameras in Vain embraces the power of communal voices, through graffiti, as a means of resistance against this overarching trend of increased monitoring at the hands of private landowners and powerful institutions.
