Equiveillance seeks to further the study of the equilibrium between surveillance and sousveillance (inverse surveillance). This work builds on the Opening Keynote Address at the Association of Computing Machinery's (ACM's) CFP conference that explored the means by which we might mitigate power imbalances arising from systematic and unbalanced surveillance (i.e. surveillance without sousveillance).
Equiveillance Week kicks off with an ID Trail Mix on Equiveillance by Steve Mann and Ian Kerr, which will be posted on January 3rd, followed by a week of active discussion on blog*on*nymity by various guest bloggers, professors and students. Invited bloggers include Valerie Steeves, and David Matheson, as well as Gary Marx, Professor Emeritus, M.I.T., and Daniel Solove, Associate Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School.
