Document Summary
11/17/17 (19) watching you, watching me": surveillance and voyeurism. This means that the surveillance could be a means for empowerment particularly when those people have been excluded from traditional zones of influence, but it can also be used by people with institutional powers against others. Surveillance: orwellian big brother" all-knowing, all-seeing, invisible super-power. Surveillance is about the exercise of power and the performance of power relationships which is shown to us when there are distinct hierarchies in these relationships: panopticon dispersal of social control within this architectural form. Individuals will internalize the potential that they will be watched and govern themselves accordingly. Increasingly, we are seeing the convergence of once separated surveillance into a surveillant assemblage".
