About
Waterloo Watchmen is a surveillance blog designed to provide a forum for cultural, sociological, psychological, and theoretical discussion of surveillance technology and methodology. Our primary goal is to experiment with counter-surveillance techniques to explore how they might interact with and complicate surveillance culture.
Waterloo Watchmen is also a public art project that asks participants to engage with real surveillance space in the UW Campus. A series of posters featuring Watchmen characters and QR Codes (a barcode scannable by your cellphone) have been placed in key sites for counter-surveillance on campus. Scanning the QR Code will take you to a post with technical and theoretical information about the surveillance space you are standing in. There are six posters to find on campus, taking you on a tour of various types of surveillance space. If you are having any difficulty finding the posters, please see the QR Confidental page.
Waterloo Watchmen is also intended to be a collaborative project. If you would like to submit any of your own counter-surveillance data (pictures of cameras, digital surveillance, writing on the purposes of counter-surveillance, etc.) we welcome you to submit to:
The conversation going on is priceless:
ReplyDelete"It's for an art project" lol.
Politics become art when they're caught on camera.
