Eyes

*Although the publicly stated intentions of installing CCTV systems across cities is to improve public security, the omnipresence of cameras in major cities is excessive. People are gradually getting used to being watched by these digital eyes and therefore forgetting about their individual rights, such as protecting their personal biometric information. 

*Facial recognition is widely applied on machines for security checks and flow control. As our facial characteristics are often taken as recognition marks, I want to propose that we look back in a similar way to mark the cameras’ position, type, sight. In a process of seeking out the cameras and then hiding from them, people will be able to see how heavily they are being watched and be vigilant about their data privacy.

[1]Like it or not, Eyes are everywhere. With or without being known. Streets, schools, markets, offices, even homes. Every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year. Cameras turn into digital eyes watching you from everywhere. Some of them look like guns; some of them look like robots. They are living in the shadows; You are living in the daylight. Does anyone warn you about it; do you even know they are here? The abyss is staring at you, could you bravely look back? Eyes are expanding, leaving you limited freedom. Eyes are growing in, taking over your reality. Eyes are up, down, front, back, left, and right. You are living in the Truman Show. Seeking an exit. Escape.
