An average water tower, transformed into a Cyclopean walker

For the Nuit Blanche : impart to Light on October 1 , artist Marcos Zota projected a giant orb onto the bottom of the Milton Street piss tower in Brooklyn . Conceived as a commentary of gentrification in the neighborhood , the piece also get for a serviceable point of view - in for a Martian invader .

excuse Zota of the projection :

CCTV / Creative Control seek to call into question the oppressive mechanisms and discourse implement in the metropolis through the temporary appropriation of public space . The intervention consists of a video project displaying an over - sized eye onto the lower surface of the 10 - storey - hight Milton Street H2O tower in Brooklyn , New York . Still the gamey period in the sphere , until it is dwarfed by new gentrification plans , the water pillar exists as a relic of the neighbourhood ’s industrial past . The interposition temporarily transforms this iconic landmark into a discernible CCTV tower , raising inquiry of private control over public space in the urban context .
