SECURITY
April 2002 / ECIAD Media Gallery, Vancouver
Norma fundraised for two months to prepare for this installation work. The collective hired a security guard to 'guard' the gallery space for the duration of one work week (5 days, 8 hours a day). Visitors were required to sign in upon entry to the space. Those with ID numbers containing arbitrarily defined digits (0's and 2's on Monday, 3's and 6's on Tuesday, and so on) were asked to immediately leave the gallery. If they refused, the security guard escorted them out.   A surveillance camera broadcast a live feed of the installation to a monitor positioned outside the gallery in a public space.
