Performance Artists Raise Awareness of Surveillance Cameras

The Surveillance Camera Players engage in various forms of performance art to protest the use of security cameras in New York. Some pray to the cameras in public, many perform short plays for the police monitoring the cameras, and others hold up signs to the cameras with messages such as "We Know You Are Watching."
