Guardian Angel is a fictitious corporation that offers a broad range of highly personalized services in exchange for extreme personal surveillance. The installation is made up of three elements: a video projection of a live, fairly invasive video surveillance system, an overlay on the projection of 'comforting' marketing slogans from Guardian Angel, a page from Guardian Angel's web-site.
