    Surveillance has become a part of our daily lives, developing into another utility-like electricity. This video looks at how surveillance technologies are affecting us on an unconscious level. Footage shot on 9.9.01 from the World Trade Center (my studio in Tower One as part of a LMCC residency) is manipulated to simulate surveillance in order to create a pseudo-narrative from the position of the security personnel. The viewer witnesses an over-tired security person suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder when the present collides with the past as the repetition and boredom of watching creates a space for the unconscious of the 'watcher' to erupt and 'experiencing' multiplying subliminal flashbacks of Tower Two (along with sound from television coverage on 9.11). Originally conceived before 9.11 as a response to the security focus at WTC, the video now has also become acknowledgment of the WTC security personnel, as well as of others that the 9.11 event still exists for. 2002. U.S./The Netherlands. 4'. Laurie Halsey Brown, 2002 shot at WTC 2001
