sousveillance (undersight)
How do we undo the "police state"?
- place ourselves and other "prisoners" under surveillance, to
destroy the monopoly on surveillance, e.g. photograph other
customers (or each other) at a department store;
- observe the guards (inverse surveillance), e.g. photograph
shopkeepers and security guards at a department store.
First let us begin by understanding surveillance:
- satire on surveillance: SeatSale
READINGS from Cyborg...
- satire on emergency preparedness:
Decon READINGS from
Cyborg...
- Foucault: "government loves the plague" (means to suppress civil unrest).
- Today's language: "Totalitarianists love anthrax".
- Decon video: /usr/local/bin/decon
- The Safebath project
- Only oversight is an oversight on our part:
READINGS: Schwaben Quellen, from Cyborg
