If I have to move back to the city to get Meaningful Paid Employment, maybe this is something I might replicate, though I'd have to charge for my services, while these walking tours in NYC are gratis (these www.notbored.com folks are great, and cheap!). Anyway, I think it's a good idea:
Surveillance Camera Outdoor Walking Tours (SCOWT) of New York City
"Each SCOWT will include a general introduction to the emerging surveillance society as well as a choice selection of video cameras that surveill public space. Each tour lasts about 1.5 hours and is undertaken rain or shine. Free and open to the public. No reservations needed. Call (212) 561-0106 for updated information."
This is run by people associated with the Surveillance Camera Players, a situationist group that we've talked about here before.
Situationism?
Situationism is a political theory that had an historical context but still has something to say to us today. There are intro articles about it here and here and here.
