NYPD The New Big Brother

Saw this article and it got me thinking about the Highline in New York. A place to sit and watch the city and it's people go by almost voyeuristic considering Gini and David's experience with the naked photo shoot. This just adds another more disturbing layer to a place that seems harmless and meant to just watch and walk away.  I think that a real element of risk is present if your most casual moments are being filmed. I think that this could be a really modern and socially relevant way of introducing risk into the play and then maybe look into other forms of being recorded, cellphones, facebook etc.

Anyways I thought it was at least somewhere to jump off of.
