PANOPTICON EFFECT

Perceived Surveillance enforces silent obedience.

01
WHY IT MATTERS

When you feel you are being watched, how do you alter your behavior? The Panopticon was designed as a prison in which a single guard could exert control over all prisoners with maximum efficiency. With the growth of AI surveillance and proliferation of public surveillance devices, we increasingly live within panopticons in public, at home, and online.

DANGERS

Psychological studies show that the stress of constant surveillance wears people down and erodes their mental and physical health. Also, surveillance systems often make errors and misidentification of people based on surveillance data has led to prosecuting people for crimes they did not commit.
