Age of Surveillance
AGE OF SURVEILLANCE
In 2024, it’s impossible to not feel watched. From iPhones to Ring Cameras to smart watches, we’re used to the feeling that our devices are tracking us for our health data, shopping habits, and more. But that feeling is a two-way street.
In the Age of Surveillance, internet users, viewers, and everyday citizens become the surveillants. The surveilled are influencers, the subject of true crime content, adoptees, and residents sharing camera footage with police departments. These stories raise the question: Who’s watching who?
