For years I've thought about doing an "art project" to make people more aware of the fact they are being observed – but I never actually got up and did it.

The idea was to seek spots in the city where public web cams are pointed at, and paint QR codes on the ground at those spots (using a template), linking to the camera stream. So when curious passerbys scan the code, they see themselves in a camera stream and feel "watched".

What, are those streams publicly accessible?

I'm only aware of boring rooftop weather webcams where obv you can't see yourself.

Any examples for what you speak of?

Many are! I live in NY and 511ny.org has a great view of all traffic cams in the state (and some beyond it, but I don't understand how they got on the list...)
