JULIA SCHER
In Occupational Placement, commissioned in 1989 by the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, images from live permanent security system cameras, temporary cameras, and pre-recorded video (fake feeds) are mixed with overlays of random computer-generated text, recorded and output to screens. Visitors become part of the artwork as they watch themselves on the monitors, seeing their images overlaid with such vaguely unsettling text as "you are not protected here but are being watched."
About Occupational Placement, Scher has said, “The viewing audience will be asked to consider the implication of being within an environment that, rather than being observed itself, is engaged in observing, collecting, organizing and transposing images. You look at the building – but the building looks back.”
