The use of "shows" feels to me like it anthropomorphises the cameras, as if he's sharing the joke with his traffic cam pals.
- myself248 2y agoThis reminds me of learning the term "culture jamming", and the antics of a group that would perform silent plays in front of surveillance cameras, not knowing whether someone in a security booth was even watching. At the time I wondered if they might've anthropomorphized the camera itself as the audience, to be able to emote to it and not focus on the uncertainty of whether there was anyone "else" in attendance.
