The CCTV camera is showing up in street art as the preferred emblem of Orwellian authoritarianism. Celebrity graffiti practitioner Banksy painted this giant protest statement in London (which required putting up and taking down three stories of scaffolding during the night) just to the left of an actual CCTV camera.
Now I see the cameras themselves incorporated as cartoon components of the latest work here in San Francisco. The walk to my haircutter led me past this one early this morning just off Valencia in the Mission.
