On Monday May 17th, 1993 at 1pm in Newcastle upon Tyne city centre a synchronised walk took place in two separate locations by Pat Naldi and Wendy Kirkup.

This event was recorded on the 16 camera surveillance system recently installed throughout the commercial centre of the city by Northumbria Police (Newcastle upon Tyne was the first city centre in the UK to install a Closed Circuit Television network). The system's radical vision was capable of recording 16 separate views of the city in any one second.

The subsequent footage was edited into 20 ten-second sequences which were transmitted during commercial breaks on Tyne Tees Television between June 21 and July 4 as part of the 2nd Tyne International 1993.
