At this year’s Ingenuity Festival in Cleveland, Ohio, a piece entitled “Red Eyed Skywalkers”, created by new media artist Jenny Marketou involed the take off of 100 red five foot diameter meteorological balloons into the sky to create a floating canopy over Cleveland’s Star Plaza.
But they weren’t just any old red balloons – these were equipped with specially-designed video surveillance cameras using OnSSI’s networked video surveillance, to transmit aerial images wirelessly to numerous large screens around the festival.
The event hoped to raise challenging philosophical ideas about privacy in public spaces, involving the audience as both spectator and participant.
“Since we typically keep our focus on serious technology development in the realm of IP video surveillance, it was enjoyable to be able to be involved with a project that has evolved from a fully artistic point of view,” said Gadi Piran, CEO of OnSSI.
