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".

Joke's on you... even most EVs watch everyone and everything that they pass/passes them. Walking through the parking lot ... face recognition.

Welcome to prison planet, the silly conspiracy theory that only weirdos believe in 1990.

I don't think it's that year in particular, but lots of spy movies from that era include bits like "Show me the feed from cameras in that area... OK, zoom in on that guy in the black hood... ID him!". In real time.

And then the agents run out of the office and get to that part of the city in a couple minutes, as if they were in Mayberry instead of NYC.
