New York Surveillance Camera Players

“Inspired by the situationist theory of détournement, since 1996, the New York Surveillance Camera Players have been enacting agit-prop theatre performances, based on sources including George Orwell’s 1984 (1949) and Wilhelm Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), in front of publicly installed surveillance cameras.”[1]
