The camera will be connected to the users broadband connection, so you must have a broadband connection. The cameras will send images out to the internet and the final images will be reprocessed and integrated to make ta real time evolving artwork called Public Domain.

The aim is to use live CCTV images from cameras in Nottingham to make an artwork about the city of Nottingham. The project will create a network of cameras in the city of Nottingham to make an online artwork re-contextualizing these images and the process in real time. The result will be a visual representation of a slice of life from Nottingham.

Technical needs to participate.

Each partipant is required to have a broadband internet connection and be willing to have a camera installed and connected to their modem or router and pointing at something continuously.
