Alerta Móvil de Contra-Vigilancia

8/30/2013

0 Comments

 
Alerta Móvil de Contra Vigilancia (AMCV) is a project initiated by anonimoColectivo so anyone who has knowledge of surveillance cameras in Mexico City and Cuernavaca can open a discussion about the overuse of surveillance technologies and their impact on the healthy development of public spaces, as well as citizens' rights to privacy and autonomy.

AMCV consists of these two elements: 

  • An interactive application for cell phones that alerts users to the presence of surveillance cameras, as well as to navigate the maps of different cities to locate these cameras.  
  • The project website, whose objectives include: a) Documenting and development objectives of the project; b) Providing a place where the mobile app can be downloaded; and c) Providing a tool to add surveillance cameras to the project database.

Why? AMCV is responding to the presence of overextended surveillance technologies that make the public space a constant representation of power, through the regulation of the spaces between which circulates the subject. Regulation which in turn is not explicit in laws but represented through the social body, their customs and their continued enforcement of compliance.

In this sense AMCV seeks to subvert the principle of surveillance aimed at the individual , by a pointing monitoring technologies themselves the subject of eyes providing technological devices that allow you to exert a counter-surveillance and networking of resistance.

He's how you can contribute to AMCV: 

  • Register as a user and upload info about camera locations, into the embedded map on our website. 
  • Then location of new cameras will automatically be included in the project database. A detailed explanation about how to include info about new cameras into the database can be found in the forum.
  • If you are interested in supporting AMCV more more actively, you can download the project source and works via performing system upgrades.
