Pat Naldi and Wendy Kirkup’s project SEARCH consists of silent video documenting a synchronised walk undertaken by the artists in Newcastle upon Tyne city centre in 1993, recorded on the then-brand-new 16 camera surveillance system run by Northumbria Police (Newcastle upon Tyne was the first city centre in the UK to install a Closed Circuit Television network). The resultant footage was given to the artists who edited it into twenty 10 second sequences which were then transmitted completely unannounced during the commercial breaks on Tyne Tees Television between 21st June and 4th July 1993.
