AZSCP 2001

Between 12:40 pm and 1:30 pm on Wednesday, 28 February 2001, the "Theatre for Social Change" class at Arizona State University concluded its study of the [New York] Surveillance Camera Players by performing twice in front of surveillance cameras on Mill Avenue in Tempe, Arizona. The first performance was in front of the city's web cam, which for some reason is pointed at a Starbuck's. The second performance was in front of a security camera that watches a public sidewalk located behind Chase-Manhattan's corporate offices. Security became alerted to the group's presence, and the performance was cut short about 30 seconds. Instructor Charles Banaszewski along with his students created a three-part performance for these occasions. The performance started with a poster-board performance protesting the proliferation of reality-based television programs, which encourage the proliferation of surveillance cameras in public places. The second part portrayed a modified version of the [New York] SCP's Headline News, which proclaimed We're watching you watch us, included Sports and was sponsored by CBS, Pepsi and MasterCard. The third part was a dramatic performance (by JT, Edward, and Jennifer) protesting Tempe's strict loitering rules on Mill Ave., the message of which is If you're not here to eat or shop, you should leave, otherwise you will be fined heavily.
