Another CCTV bird box

I just found this. It's by a guy named Colin Matthes. This is his website. We need to know about all of these things, because it helps us define our project more effectively. We need to know why we are not doing this, nor are we doing Celine Shenton's project (the metal-roofed camera box). It's also a strong signifier that we need to move away from just birds. BBC isn't really about bird boxes; right now we have 4 because we need to prototype the act. But there's a different end-point waiting for us somewhere...

From the Seeing Green website Nicolas Lampert writes:
Colin Matthes’ surveillance camera birdhouse is now up. Matthes researched and designed a birdhouse suitable for birds in Wisconsin, constructed it out of wood, and placed it in a river corridor in Milwaukee. For birds, it serves as a perfect home for finches. For people who stumble upon it while walking down the path through the woods, the sight of the surveillance camera mounted to a tree is completely unexpected and raises a myriad of questions about the priorities people place on property, competition and issues of fear and security that dominate city living. The fact that the menacing form of the surveillance camera is humbled and made into a home for finches only serves to further subvert the camera’s original connotation and adds to the surprise of encountering Matthes’ public intervention.
