Under Observation
"The invisible archive of the ordinary"
Synopsis
Under Observation is a visual essay built from recordings captured by computer webcams in retail stores. As fragments of everyday passersby accumulate, a digital wall of surveillance emerges—silent, persistent, and strangely familiar. The work invites us to reflect on visibility, routine, and the subtle architectures of control within contemporary spaces.

Bruce Conner’s most celebrated film for a reason: it takes historical moments that were replayed over and over on television—chilling repetition of Kennedy assassination coverage—and repurposes them into a meditation on how the media tries to exert authority and apply a sense of order to the anarchic. And though it may sound perverse to say so, the film is also—not incidentally—a thrill to watch. -- The A.V. Club
