An eye gazes out over the Victory Plaza mall from a large LCD screen, surroundedby blinking, flashing, animated artworks on other LED screens, some moving ontracks, all vying for attention.

I was thinking of FISA, the proliferationof security cameras, pilotless drone surveillance aircraft, and the culture ofvoyeurism, MySpace and YouTube.
