"By putting these happy party hats on the surveillance cameras, we don't just celebrate Orwell's birthday. By making these inconspicuous cameras that we ignore in our daily lives catch the eye again, we also create awareness of how many cameras really watch us nowadays, and that the surveillance state described by Orwell is getting closer and closer to reality," Thomas voor 't Hekke and Bas van Oerle, the two men behind FRONT404, wrote on the project's website. -- from "Surveillance Cams Get Party Hats for Orwell's Birthday" by Marshall Honorof (livescience.com) |
