Earlier this month, I went for an hour long silent walk around Greenwich in full face paint. Why? I was in the company of the Dazzle Club - a group of artists who are using anti-facial recognition paint and silent walks to explore surveillance and public space in 2019
I wrote about the Dazzle Club's work, privately owned public spaces, and the experience of being constantly watched for @i_D i-d.vice.com/en_uk/article/…
@i_D Going on a Dazzle Club walk is an experience I can't quite put into words. It combines art, activism and the simple act of walking around the city, without being on your phone. Afterwards, I felt so nourished & creative, but also completely aghast at the number of cameras & POPs
@i_D It makes you THINK. Also, if anyone remembers me saying there's a detail in my next article that has full rocked me, it's this: a live streamed feed from the CCTV cameras of the privately-owned Granary Sq that anyone on the internet can watch here: kingscross.co.uk/webcam
@i_D This is live right now. This is a list of locations I can choose to watch streams from. Have you been to Granary Sq/Coal Drop Yard etc in the last few months? Surprise! You've been Big Brothered to the n'th degree.
@i_D Just could not believe that there's a literal LIVE FEED of footage being streamed to everyone on the internet from a huge area of King's Cross and it's being positioned as entertainment by the developers!! But there is!
@i_D Follow the Dazzle Club now - their next walk is on the 20th Feb around Shoreditch/Liverpool Street and sign up details here: instagram.com/thedazzleclub/…
