If there is a true transcript of the city, it is to be found in the avant-garde vigilance of CCTV, which captures the ongoing events of modernity, 24 hours a day. It should not be security guards installing and monitoring these cameras, but architects and urban planners. Only in the minutiae of passing minutes will they discover how the city should evolve. As composer John Cage once wrote: “There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear.” 

Surveillance as Cinema

An open door is very attractive. :)

This is somewhat related to the Panopticon concept. Yay for more ideas. I hope I can stitch every idea beautifully, though.
