Tactical Ice Cream Unit

In these times of "heightened security" the TICU takes a Do-It-Yourself approach in confronting the rhetoric of "Big Brother". More than creating an undercover, Mission: Impossible aesthetic, the TICU's full surveillance suite provides grassroots access to mobile communications technologies. Whether used to produce independent community news or to monitor such "un-American" activities as corporate dumping or police brutality, the Tactical Ice Cream Unit will investigate the limits of "neutral technologies". Equipped with a mobile satellite internet system, the captured video can be viewable in real-time and recorded via a remote website. Additionally, the various surveillance technologies are used to accumulate recordings which will provide a unique audio/video account of the local geography. As such, the vehicle's GPS unit helps determine the routes taken as the Tactical Ice Cream Unit maps out the urban landscape through its daily tour of duty.
