Voyeurism – Watching Jeremy, Watching Me, Watching Jeremy

You’re definitely being watched, Jeremy!

It seems there are more watchers playing with Bentham’s Auto-Icon. Who are they? How many are there? Who is watching whom?

Does it sound familiar?…

New watcher…

“If you see something, say something” (F.B.I.)… can’t hear you Jeremy!

Another message based on Lapham’s Quarterly issue on “Spies”, this time from an ironic post on “instruction from the F.B.I.” I got ironic too!

This time I was surprised by the presence of two lovely young “collaborators”, holding a picture of me. They have been following this project and guessed the time I would appear with the message. Believe me, this was not previously arranged or staged. How cool is that?!

I wonder where did they get those hats from…

Being watched while watching the watcher…

This is getting very complicated. Just when I thought there was nothing else to post here in 2015 (yes, I’ll take a break until January 4th, since the university will be closed and Jeremy will be unaccessible), I received the image below, adding more confusion to the whole watching the watchers thing (see here for more on this).

So, I guess I was being watched while I was watching Jeremy, watching me, watching him…

Merry Christmas and happy new year. “See” you in 2016, Jeremy!

Day 50: Being watched…

How does the world look like through your “eyes of glass”?

What does Jeremy see? The message today was inspired by ideas on what watchers see. A little bit of this is discussed in my paper “Eyes of glass: watching the watchers”, hence the reference…

Do you feel disciplined in your own prison cell, Jeremy?

jeremy — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 11:51:13 +0000

Who is watching whom? Is Jeremy kept in a prison cell like case, or is this his watch tower? I’ve posted a message questioning this before, and am just expanding the possibilities now…

Timelapse video is back to normal… well, at least from the 17/12/2015!

A little message about one of the most comprehensive surveillance devices of our time, Facebook.

Jeremy, forget about Big Brother. You should fear Little Brothers

jeremy — Thu, 12 Nov 2015 10:13:25 +0000

Experimenting with other media. It hasn’t worked very well, though!

Day 26: Jeremy, forget about Big Brother. You should fear Little Brothers

Jeremy, do I look like you, while I look at you, looking at me, looking at you?

jeremy — Wed, 11 Nov 2015 10:01:56 +0000

I am usually very shy, so this one was a very difficult message to deliver. This is getting serious, isn’t it, Jeremy?!

Day 25: Jeremy, do I look like you, while I look at you, looking at me, looking at you?
