Marie Sester's (artist working with sfComplex) husband (Michael Naimark) has raised the bar by making "Art" out of anti-surviellance.

I've wondered what would happen if someone offered a bounty on cameras to roving gangs of teenage paintballers...

I suppose I should quit watching Clockwork Orange over and over again.  Mad Max anyone?

I forwarded to  my husband this most interesting site (essay, actually). He reminded me of a benign use of innocent crowd sourcing that most people don't know about. At Carnegie-Mellon, they are digitizing old manuscripts. Some of them don't lend themselves to scanning. For those where words are ambiguous, the ambiguities are presented as "captchas" and humans tell us what the words really are.

Lhude sing goddam

Raineth drop and staineth slop

And how the wind doth ramm!"

Well, also remember that the only people who surveil are people who want to find something out.
