IN:URL 2010
Synopsis:
An observation of a flaw, or a loop -hole in a system in the form of a Google-hack:
the in:url script brings up masses of public and non-public web-cameras due to the similarity of a factory-set file-name extension.
Interestingly, the majority of cameras I have viewed regardless of time of viewing seem to be largely devoid of human life and I find it intriguing that cumulatively, as a surveillance oriented society, we have 'angled our cameras' ,literally and metaphorically to these spaces.
An image chosen from the collection was then sent to a Chinese painting factory, to be re-produced. This painting sits alongside a print of the original still image.
A selection from the collection was published in the international photography magazine SMBH as photographs 'by' Scot Cotterell.
