NETWORKOUT gym machine 1
Thinking about the idea of surveillance and exposure while using the complex machinery in the gym, I wanted to explore the possibility of relating to the video camera, a tool of surveillance, in a more intimate or physical way.
I attached a video camera to different parts of the weight machines, generally the stack of weights or another part of the machine that moved. The camera was aimed at my own body. I then performed my normal lifting routine with the camera running.
The videos were displayed on the large television monitors in the Zesiger Athletic Center, and on small monitors as part of the MIT Zones of Emergency show in May 2008.
