The Verbotenbilden (Forbidden Images) series is an outgrowth of the 8 Bits or Less photo series (over 3000) and represents images that were taken inside the LaGuardia Airport (New York) most within the security zone in October, 2001. Within the images, one can see pixellated images of guardsmen, rental agents, TV monitors, and people going about their business.

The concept behind Verbotenbilben and Space Invader is the idea of the counter record in the age of paranoia and surveillance. WHile hegemony is allowed to construct its own panopticon from the public commons, the individual can only be empowered by assuming the role of counter-surveillance. In this way, the hegemonic record can be verified by the counter-record of the observed.

In addition. an installation of Stupid but Vaguely Threatening is part of the installation. The piece was performed by sending it through the mails to DiverseWorks Media Center for the Thought Crimes exhibition, and is on display in a hypothetical reenactment diaorama of its first performance in being taken on a flight from Baton Rouge, LA to Los Angeles, CA in August, 2004.
