Question: Help me find this art installation

Within the past couple of years there was an art installation in London (?) featuring a work that may have been called "Shy Camera." The piece was a security video camera mounted on an arm. When visitors approached, it turned away abruptly.

The effect was incredibly anthropomorphic. There was a short clip of its interaction with people.

I can't find the artist, gallery, or link. I'd like to see it again. Of course, what I'd really like to do buy it, license it, or copy it at home--there was something endearing and reassuring about it.

pretty sure I saw a mention of this on we-make-money-not-art.com - - check that page and i'll bet you find it. try the "surveillance" tag.

It's the (In)Security Camera. Has been shown in Chicago, NYC, Boston, Vancouver, but not London.
