Blog2014 ≫ All cameras are police cameras

A great project, walking the London wall, and taking note of all the surveillance systems on the way, this is a very interesting read1. I'm interested in this stuff from both sides, I have cameras in / on my house and have thought about adding other monitoring systems, anpr noting who drives past and logging all the devices that come near... this possibly puts me on the side of THE MAN.

The Sixth Wall will be built from the things you wear on your body and arrange on the shelves in your bedroom. Nest, QOL, Hue. Automatic. Smart TVs. HAPIfork. Vessyl. Autographer. Memeto. Glass. Dropcam. Jawbone. Fuel. Withings. Fitbit. Healthkit. Little policemen in your pocket, little policemen on your skin.

The Sixth Wall will be made of intelligent dust which settles in the folds of your clothes and communicates your position and heart rate to orbiting satellites. Londons citizens will dream, and the images of their dreams will dance on the telescreens of Piccadilly Circus, and be found wanting.
