When the surveillance is collecting images and monitoring people’s behaviors, it becomes the best artist.
This work combines the real-time surveillance images and natural landscapes, in order to discuss the boundaries between nature and technology, as well as the authenticity of images.

All the images are taken from the natural scenes captured in real time by the surveillance cameras. Each image has its precise time, which proves the authenticity of the image.

However, when the natural scenes are captured, due to the glitches of the device, the real-time images are revised. It turns out that the glitch image and the natural scenes are combined and transferred at the same time, which leads to the unreal real-time images.

The combination of surveillance and real scenes enables me to question the authenticity of images, while seeking the natural aesthetics under the “control” of technology.

The screen on the right shows a live cctv scene, whereas the screen parallel to it displays a live but non-real picture composed by the artist 'CCTV'. The unreal image itself deconstructs the monitoring video image, and the AI recognition system makes a secondary commission on this glitchy image for imagery recognition. In consequence the two screens form a closed narrative and self-directed heterotopia in relation to themselves

电子监控在获取图像和监控行为的同时，也成为了最好的创作者。

 

该作品试图利用：电子监控自身存在且不可避免的系统故障所生成的实时画面与监控内的自然景观进行融合所形成的“二次加工”图像，探讨自然与科技的边界以及图像本身真实性命题

该作品中所有的图片均来源于某一手机软件中的监控摄像头实时捕捉的画面，每个画面都有准确的时间，时间，为图像的真实性提供了证据。

然而自然景观在被监控摄像头捕捉的同时，由于电子设备本身的故障导致实时传送的图片发生了变化，监控本身犹如创作者，对实时图像进行加工，故障图像与自然景观相互结合并实时传送，形成了不真实的实时图像。

 

该作品在对监控下的图像真实性进行质问的同时，也试图寻找来自被科技“控制”下的自然的美学
