Watchers – Watching Jeremy, Watching Me, Watching Jeremy https://jeremyproject.lavits.org Interacting with Jeremy Bentham's Auto-Icon at UCL Fri, 05 Feb 2016 10:09:32 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.2 You’re definitely being watched, Jeremy! https://jeremyproject.lavits.org/2016/02/04/youre-definitely-being-watched-jeremy/ Thu, 04 Feb 2016 14:01:00 +0000 http://jeremyproject.lavits.org/?p=523 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...

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…

]]> I know, Jeremy. Watching can be a very tedious job! https://jeremyproject.lavits.org/2016/01/04/i-know-jeremy-watching-can-be-a-very-tedious-job/ Mon, 04 Jan 2016 10:04:06 +0000 http://jeremyproject.lavits.org/?p=370 Speaking of which, another reference to the same paper I mentioned a couple of posts ago, but this time about the tedious job of watchers (security personnel) in a CCTV control room. This was also reported in works by Gavin Smith here, and here.

Anyway, I’m back, happy 2016… and let not this be a tedious year!

Day 51: I know, Jeremy. Watching can be a very tedious job!

]]> Being watched while watching the watcher… https://jeremyproject.lavits.org/2015/12/23/being-watched-while-watching-the-watcher/ Wed, 23 Dec 2015 12:24:53 +0000 http://jeremyproject.lavits.org/?p=365 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!

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…
