Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you. Used to be a great song, but has a disturbing context these days. Nino Leitner's EveryStepYouTake documentary on the state of surveillance in the U.K will premier this month, and I suspect the full version will be made available for the world to see too :"Trying to answer questions like these, Nino Leitner’s one-hour documentary “EVERY STEP YOU TAKE” digs deep into an entirely British phenomenon: nation-wide video surveillance. It features formal interviews with the surveillance researcher Professor Clive Norris, Deputy Chief Constable Andy Trotter from the British Transport Police, a representative of Britain’s largest civil rights group Liberty, a CCTV manager from a public local CCTV scheme, experts in the field of transport policing and many more. The surveillance reality in Britain is compared with another member of the E.U., Austria. Compared to the UK, it can be seen as a developing country in terms of CCTV, but just as elsewhere all over the world, politicians are eager to extend the surveillance gaze."
Here's an animation to help you explain what surveillance means to your cat, another one fully loaded with attitude, and let's not exclude the big picture.
