The project aims to raise questions about our experience and relationship with surveillance technologies and CCTV. Click here for press images.
The Racial Targeting System is a fully portable real-time image-processing platform that has the ability to automatically find and follow faces and then analyse and store their race data.
The device is a reaction to research on the Police’s use of stop and search powers since 2000 and the use of CCTV and face recognition software. The device exists to critique and raise questions about legislation and the use of surveillance on the public.




The Static Obesity Logging device is a versatile system that can be installed almost anywhere. The casing of the device conceals a mass of technologies including an integrated computer, digital and analogue inputs and outputs and an integrated camera. The system is able to remotely calculate Body Mass Index and publish the data via wired and wireless networks.
The purpose of this device is to raise questions about the possible role of surveillance technology in healthcare, and the potential uses (misuses?) of this data by others.


The device output of the device is a jpeg format file which can then be stored, transmitted or printed. The skin colour data, location, time and date information is augmented onto the file.

The skin colour 'swatches' can be collated to illustrate a distribution over a period of time. See brixton and covent garden examples.
The output of the device is a jpeg format file. The file contains information about the time and location of the analysis in addition to weight, height and obesity level information
