Sousveillance

In the words of Steve Mann: “sousveillance is watchful vigilance from underneath [...] the ``under (sight) means from down under in the hierarchy, rather than physically as in ``underneath the floor.” Mann, a professor at the University of Toronto, proposes different types of wearable computing devices as a critique to the constant surveillance people are subjected to in public spaces and retail buildings. He proposes them as tools to allow people to control the surveillers and register their actions. Wearcam: This project proposes the use of different models of dark domes as wearable objects. By resembling the domes used to hide surveillance cameras in stores’ ceilings, these wearable domes question the right to constantly record us that these companies claim to have. Eyetap: a device, usually attached to a pair of eyeglasses, that records what the user sees and at the same time projects it towards the user’s eye, superimposing a digitally augmented image. **Input:** Recorded videos **Output:** Varies (e.g., videos projected on site in real time)
