I think it is possible to watch remotely, even when occupying the same physical space.\u00a0 I think it is important to objectify our methods of voyuerism, to peer deeply into what draws us (yes, naturally?) into these roles.\u00a0 I wonder if we could perform within the processes of surveillance.\u00a0 Could we enact artisitic technological intervention in the everyday?\u00a0 If well-placed and ubiquituous cameras have altered our physical landscapes, why dow e continue to go about our “business as usual”?\u00a0 I wonder what the possibilities could be for intentionally haptic interactions with cameras, even with each other.<\/p>\n
