Summary of last class(10).

I studied about the "Public & Privacy".


Surveillance close watch kept over someone or something, technologies of surveillance. For example, Viisage & Superbowl XXXV.
Surveillance model versus capture model. Surveillance model is built upon visual metaphors and derives from historical experiences of secret police surveillance. Capture model is built upon linguistic metaphors and takes as its prototype the deliberate reorganization of industrial work activities to allow computers to track them "the work activities" in real time.
Privacy is the quality or state of being apart from company or observation, a place of seclusion
digital media versus computer science - digital media studies: some architectures are best designed to be inefficient. Computer science: efficiency is almost always considered to be a virtue: efficient architectures are usually good architectures.

Lessig on architecture of privacy.
Life where less is monitored is a life more private and life where less can be searched is also a life more private.
Technologies and architectures of privacy.
Technologies and architectures are important influences on the production and change of private and public space. But, they do not independently determine what is public and what is private sometimes inefficient architectures, inefficient technologies are good technologies.
Because they allow for or facilitate resistance by the less powerful in the face of powerful individuals, corporations and governments.
Today I learned about history of surveilance, definition of privacy and etc.It is applied to my real life whatever monitoring or search.So I was glad to learn this.
