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

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…
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!
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!
