panoptICONS Utrecht 2010 from Helden on Vimeo.

Artists Thomas voor 't Hekke and Bas van Oerle's latest project:

'panoptICONS' addresses the fact that you are constantly being watched
by surveillance cameras in city centres. The surveillance camera seems
to have become a real pest that feeds on our privacy. To represent this,
camera birds - city birds with cameras instead of heads - were placed
throughout the city centre of Utrecht where they feed on our presence.
