We live in “the surveillance society,” observes Megan Garber:
“… surveillance is distributed and small-sized and iterative. It is a logical extension of the hot-mic moment, of the caught-on-tape trope, of the blooper reel—and also, in its way, of the role cameras have recently played in exposing crime and police brutality.”
“… technology is making it harder to differentiate between the people we perform and the people we are.”
