Brief:
Voluntary exposure of private belongings via survey check points (sLNCs). sLNCs will duplicate the checkpoints created by armed policeman at transportation hubs. However, having no legal authority the sLNCs will accept bags and carry-ons that are voluntarily donated for search and documentation purposes.
Q. The sLNCs, stations/ tables manned by artist who will document the contents of passenger’s personal belongings and incorporate the process of the search as well as the items inside into an artwork. The artwork will be displayed online such that the process of surveillance can be distributed to all who see the work.
Q. The sLNCs will be tables/ structures/ sculptures that will accept personal artifacts as donations which are then added (keys, tissue paper, books, gym cloths, Tupperware, chewing gum, wallet, etc.) to the table structure to become or form a threat or weapon/ sculpture.
Q. The sLNCs will accept a particular type of donation, either keys or credit cards that once collected will be used to form the final sculpture and donated to the 9/11 museum. Possible sculpture media: cast brass (keys) or metal, cast resin or cast plastic.
Work/Research Pellets:
1. What type of plastic is used in credit cards and how can this be tooled?
2. Who operates the 9/11 Museum, contact persons there.
3. Legality of creating an artwork on the sidewalk that mimics law enforcement efforts.
4. Create website for display of items searched or donated.
5. Create paper survey/ poll for participants recording thoughts on current surveillance efforts as part of this presentation.
