Cold Clinic Day 2

March 16, 2008 - March 16, 2008

Day Two was a colder day. Joe and Steve were blurry-eyed when we got to the 'clinic'; Steve had had been on the eleven-hour night shift and was continuing through the day as they were short-staffed. Friday, the day of our first session had been the last day of Uni. Today was Sunday and the streets were quiet.
The 'warmth' of the Control room provided a space for diagnosis and self-examination. From Kate Taylor, a film curator from Liverpool interested in how artists and operators view CCTV to Phil, an employee of BAE systems and Julie who worked at Granada TV came a range of questions and reflections. Steve, feeling vulnerable and less on the defense offered us some clear insights about life 'on the beat' and about the processes of gentrification and regeneration he had witnessed in the city.

View short excepts from Day Two below.
