Artist makes website that lets you take selfies through NYC's network of traffic cameras. NYC Department of Transportation sends cease and desist. Artist nails cease and desist to a very very very long pole & holds it up to one of the cameras to take a photo of it

This is fascinating. We are drenched in surveillance. 🌸

@404mediaco this brings up an interesting question. Could the rank and file simply start putting up objects that block the cameras' views? Is there anything illegal about that? Especially if the objects were mounted on private property.

First image is of a man holding a very long pole in front of an overhead camera, the second is a screenshot of the letter on the end of that pole.
