| Abstract | This paper describes using wearable computing devices to perform "sousveillance " (inverse surveillance) as a counter to organizational surveillance. A variety of wearable computing devices generated different kinds of responses, and allowed for the collection of data in different situations. Visible sousveillance often evoked counter-performances by front-line surveillance workers. The juxtaposition of sousveillance with surveillance generates new kinds of information in a social surveillance situation. Being Surveilled These days, if you feel like somebody's watching you, you might be right. One year after the Sept 11 attacks, security experts and privacy advocates say there has been a surge in the number of video cameras installed around the country [U.S.]. The electronic eyes keep an unwavering gaze on everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Washington Monument…. [For example,] a group of anti-surveillance activists [say] … they have seen a 40 % increase in new cameras in New York's financial district since last September [2001] (Evangelista 2002). |
