A history of surveillance

The University of the West of England (UWE)

A brief history of the 1942 prediction towards mass surveillance, how do we combat this and how does it still stand in modern society.

The booklet was sent in a satirical envelope addressed to Ms Merkel, a redacted quote reads "monitoring communications – Barack Obama".

Front cover.

The 'V' symbol is used as a thread throughout the information booklet.

My favourite scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window which related heavily with modern mass surveillance.

Facts and advice on how far Big Brothers sights can reach.

A brief recap on the first uses of CCTV.

The lasting message is to empower those who feel affected by mass observation, and to shake the others awake.
