A. It is a video screen not unlike a TV that spews an endless stream of propaganda. It is a virtual reminder of Big Brother.

What are some connections between the novel 1984 and real life?

A. It's been years since I read 1984, but I would guess one of the key topics would be the 'big brother is watching you'...today CCTV cameras capture the lives of millions as they go about their business; computer records mean data on everybody is stored and covers everything from health records, work, families, shopping habits, viewing habits etc; the Internet gives access into the private lives of people and glimpses into their homes etc; webcams mean parents can monitor their children at school or home, partners can spy on each other...an air of mistrust, suspicion, voyeurism etc. Good luck with your paper Maybe 'time' and how we use it or perceive it - or friendships/relationships

How would I find video footage of a performance at the Festival Of Perth in 1984?
Q. Hi, I know this is a weird question, but my Mum was a performer in a show called "Body Rap" at the 1984 Festival of Perth. I know that video footage does exist, but cannot find any more information than that. The Artist who's piece it was, was called Sam Abercrombie, who lived in Freo at the time, he later moved to Portugal(?). I would love to find any information about this show, as I think the footage would be a huge surprise at Christmas!! ANY help that can be given would be absolutely fantastic, Thanks. Oh, I should have added that the peice was performed at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, maybe that'll ring some bells?
