This is too true, I just went for a walk around town to get out and although there was practically no one around, those damn cameras are everywhere. I have no idea if theres someone at the other end watching constantly but its annoying when they seemingly move in your direction like they're following you.
Not that I was out to do anything wrong.... ..... .... ..

there must be some sort of miniature strobe you can build/buy that you can point at these things that kinda phreaks them, or fucks with the software to render them useless.
I want one, and I want to sell my house to buy everyone in the world one, and end this stupid, nasty spying shit.
Why do you put up with this ?You'd all eat shit if they told you to.

It's not so much the way Banksy did it. I just like the play on words.
American: One Nation Under God
Chinese One Nation Under CCTV.
To me he is commenting on the media control in China, and that America is not innocent of that either.

So I wonder if he is doing this based off of the olympic riots of Free Tibet? I'm not sure.
But isn't that also a British Post Office Building? That's pretty gutsy if so. Especially if it has the same consequences that America has for "Destroying" Federal Property.

Although I am frankly not a big fan of Bansky's visual aesthetics, I must say he does create profound and meaningful works of art.

closed circuit television, like surveillance. I got no china out of it.

Yeah Like I said I could be wrong. But with the riots going on.

Which was the first thing that came to my head.
To me just seemed like a probable comparison that I said before.

London peeps do you feel more secure with the thousands of CCTV's in and around your city? I am just curious, they are trying to propose the same thing here in NYC and Philly, thanks.

aha! A cheap laser pointer and a bit of blu-tac - so you could stick the blutac up somewhere then aim the laser right in the lens, that would disable it until they managed to track down where it was (and you could get really cunning)
Or the batteries ran out.

This may possibly turn into the seed of another Baader-Meinhoff phenomena, but reading this thread brought to mind the 19th Century English Philospher who invented a new kind of prison called soemthing like the Omnicom or something, which was based on the principle that people didn't NEED to be watched, they just had to live under the possibility that they were being watched. His prison was a hexagonal shape that housed 1000s of prisoners, but all walkways and all cells faced a central observation hub into which they couldn't see, but which meant the could be seen. The purpose was to bring the inmate to guard ratio right down to 1000 to 1 and maximise prison obseqiuence (sp?).
When he died, he had himself stuffed and mounted and placed on display in the foyer of a prominent London Academic institution. He's still there to this day I believe, but the question is
What was his name????
(Aside from that, his relevance here is that he proved people will behave under perceived observation and so was the godfather of social surveillance systems)
I don't really like the piece above, I think like everyone else I want to be excited by Banksie like in the 'good old days', but you do have to admire his chutzpah I think, even if it is dressed in a bit of a woolly cardigan these days.

Carry on about your business.Spookytim - Panopticon. And the reason it is so oft-cited in postmodern culture (qua: poststructuralist theory), is Michel Foucault.paraselene

- Panopticon. Thats the bugger. Thanks P.Spookytim
- In a similar vein is the concept of sousveillance - or inverse surveillance.. http://en.wikipedia.…detritus
- The Panopticon aptly describes every middle England cul de sac or curved road estate.detritus
