Dokument från festivalen. Carl-Johan Rosén livemixade materialet från ett antal strategiskt utplacerade övervakningskameror på festivalområdet. Bilderna bearbetades i realtid vilka visades som projektioner och på mindre monitorer i stora salen samtidigt som Scuba spelade sitt DJ-set. Ett smakprov:

Who Are You Looking At, Who's Looking At You Who is part of an ongoing study of surveillance camera systems; what social implications are carried along with them and how they are and can be used. Since the start of this project, late 2007, one of the results is this performance/vj set where cameras around a public space (a dance floor in a club, a street or a building) capture motions of people at that time and place. Footage is returned to the audience after beeing fed through the authoritarian system of the CCTV system and the performer. As performer I can seek individuals and place them in or out of control of their virtual representations on screen.
