Many thanks.

My view (e.g., cyberocracy paper) regarding these vast new sensory apparatuses remains that “Of all the uses to which the new technologies are being put, this may become one of the most important for the future of the state and its relationship to society.”

Writings by Mike Crang and Stephen Graham (on “sentient cities”) and Steve Mann et al. (on “sousveillance”) are also worth a read. Though CENS is central to the possibilities, two centers at MIT have also been working on the topic.

I look forward to more sousveillance less surveillance, more sensorship less censorship. Onward.

Are we, as citizens, ready to claim our place as lawmakers and regulators?

We do have the technical means…

Here in the Netherlands similar activities ask people to count wildlife locally.
