Document Summary
The general condition, the ways in which technology as it forms an infrastructure for our everyday life, may influence politics. Surveillance central liabilities of the network public sphere. Network public sphere is a revitalized public sphere. It must be independent of people in positions of authority. Surveillance keeping watch, routine supervision, close observation for purposes of control. It can be said to operate on three primary domains: spaces, bodies, and information: spaces. The prison where a single guard is able to watch many cells at one time. The effect of surveillance stills occurs even when the guard isn"t in the tower: bodies. Since photography, visual representations of bodies are recorded. Gathering information of the body for ways of cataloguing: information. Gps on phone, bank statements and credit ratings, medical history. Trails of data become trove of surveillance produced by movement through everyday spaces. Face to face verification of identity becomes no longer possible.
