Who Watches the Watcher?

in #art5 years ago


It is a comment on the growing #surveillance state, whose tentacles are reaching into every corner of the globe. Our thoughtless apathetic (mis)use of digital technology is enabling its spread. We're being watched, categorized and marked by corporations. But who watches the corporations?

God sees all, the neighbours even more, but Social Media knows your every thought.

WOW!!!! REALLY GOOD WORK :-D

Thank you Caroline! =)

Lol For every observer there are smarter observers. New technologies allow hiding from everyone, if they want :)

First of all, you have to know the technologies, and then keep ahead, and most of all, not be lazy. ;-)

up & re for this fine work..."surveillance", not always right, but always certain!

Thank you!

No privacy today.
Love this painting.

Thank you Maysi!

Privacy is so 19th century, it went out of 'fashion' in the 20th with World Wars and is now en vogue in the 21st... I suppose the 'unblinking eye' was always there, we just didn't want to see it :)

Amazing piece!

Well, en vogue... not quite yet, although it is starting to be discussed and taken more seriously. Did you see the/hear the Joe Rogen podcast where the Twitter bosses are grilled?

It hasn't changed anything... yet, but it's a start.

The unblinking eye has always been there, but where as in the past, we were tricked into believing it saw everything, now it has the technology to do so... but again, there's still slight of hand, as they are struggling to build efficient and capable tools to meaningfully process Big Data. This is why we hear so much about AI. However, that could easily come back and bite them on the arse. =)
