neighborhood WATCH was inspired by the Fluxus Spatial Poems by Mieko (Chieko) Shiomi and my own obsession with watching the tracking and data collection mechanisms of the World Wide Web. In the spirit of Fluxus, it uses readymade imagery from live web cameras, including one of the gallery exhibition. It also uses chance selection mechanisms to reveal three of these views at a time and fragments of vicarious data collected from web participants.

Commissioned by the Queens Library Gallery, 1999.
