First off, the advice i am about to give is at your own risk and legally shouldn't be used. however, for the purposes of art where nobody gets hurt as a result of it, i think a little tresspassing is ok. now that that's covered:
As an ex-master of sneaking into places i'm not suppoed to be (hey you gotta do something instead of going to class in high school right?) i have a few tips for anyone attempting to sneak:

1) non descript clothing. that way if someone reports you, they won't be able to remember what you look like as well (probability)
2) diagonal cutters with a good steel on their blades (sometimes it helps)
3) wart remover spray from your nearest drug store - freezes locks so when you tap them with a hammer they fall apart. best on pad locks. same principle as dropping bread dough - when it's softer it will dent, when it's colder and more frozen it will shatter
4) a good knife with a sharp edge. i have always loved benchmades and spydercos
5) thin gloves - you want to be able to work, but leave no fingerprints just in case. tresspasing is criminal - you don't want incriminating evidence
6) if you have a ccw permit - leave the gun at home
7) rope 300 pound tested, nice and wide - if it's too narrow it will cut into your hands. tie large knots in it to make climbing easier. drop down to areas that you don't feel safe jumping to, climb up when you're leaving.
8) running shoes - they're quiet, stick in chainlink fences when you're climbing over better than other shoes, and don't get stuck inside as much as pointed boots
9) an old jacket. go to a second hand store and buy a leather jacket for 10-20 dollars that you wouldn't mind destroying by accident or ditching if you're being chased for trespassing. helps if there are barbed wire fences
10) multimeter from an electronic store - check if fences are electrified
11) books from your library on security systems - read a few to get an idea of what to look for

Dude, You can come to my next party!
