This video depicts
O'Gorman's attempt to capture "sousveillance" footage at the
Windsor/Detroit international tunnel in response to increasingly invasive
surveillance measures imposed by Homeland Security. O'Gorman's first
attempt to shoot the tunnel was in the spring of 2005, when he concealed
a video camera in his car, only to be thwarted by border guards. For
his second, more successful attempt, O'Gorman ran the Detroit Marathon
sporting a headcam. "Border Transmission" is a sequential
remix of these two single-take videos. A key element of this project
is the serendipitous soundtrack, recorded live in the car during O'Gorman's
first ill-fated sousveillance attempt. |
