{"product_id":"9789198760767","title":"Reversed Surveillance","description":"The book Reversed Surveillance is a visualisation of invasive surveillance technologies, challenging the prospect\nof automating crime detection during protests in France. The project reflects on the development and\nlegislation of mass surveillance by offering a case study on how individuals can protect themselves using the\nvery tools with which they are surveilled. The project bases on the idea that since it is unlikely to fully revert\nsurveillance and its effects on society, society should explore ways to reverse its impact. In Reversed\nSurveillance, Marcel Top demonstrates the potential of reversing surveillance dynamics to protect the right to\nprotest: by gaining knowledge of accessible surveillance tools, it is possible to ensure police accountability.\n\nMarcel Top is a visual artist living and working between Belgium and London. His work explores themes of mass\nsurveillance, privacy, and data collection. In his practice, Top blends traditional documentary research with\nexperimental uses of new technologies. He initiated the Reversed Surveillance project following the enactment\nof new legislation allowing the use of AI-enhanced surveillance in France (Law No. 2023-380), using accessible\nalgorithms and available protest footage to simulate how the use of Algorithmic Video Surveillance (AVS) can\nimpact protesters.","brand":"Kult Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65531147026781,"sku":null,"price":16.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9789198760767_a6e5f540-fbc9-4fb7-811b-9066abe6611a.jpg?v=1789003983","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9789198760767","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
