It interests me that some of you are looking at surveillance, thinking about land and it's history has made me think about the way it's been divided up and claimed and the restrictions that have been put on peoples movement through the land. Also the way people behave differently when they are in open countryside with no restrictions, which is hard to find in Britain these days, compared to being surrounded by walls, fences and cctv cameras.
There are up to 4.2m CCTV cameras in Britain, more than anywhere else in the world i think. This is a bit of a tangent but people's civil liberties have increasingly become a concern of mine recently.
This print is a Gum arabic print again and was inspired by information i read about children being fingerprinted in school without the parents permission, the text is a list of facts and figures about this…
in 2007 it is estimated that 3,500 schools throughout britain have been fingerprinting children without the knowledge or consent of their parents…
more than 51000 innocent children have had DNA samples lodged on a national police database.
Why? it seems worrying to me. N
