Survey Without Surveillance

Mass surveillance may be as insidious and persistent as white noise, and the current cultural conditions have conspired to lull us into the hum. However, at the core we intuit that being part of any act of observation, whether observing or being observed, somehow changes us. And depending on the nature of the observation, the effects can be profound. The act of survey has the potential for connection building; the act of surveillance that of intrusion. Yet through each process we wonder: Who is framing our information? Who is telling the story? And to what end?
