Reflectionism and Diffusionism (Steve Mann)
I'm not sure Steve Mann's ideas are revolutionary. Mann thesis is essentially regarding the study of surveillance and if it will lead to a better future.
Expressing our personalities via our clothing is hardly ground breaking or thought provoking, but what I thought was interesting was Mann's use of clothing and the clothing as a reaction or protest, however how is this any different then anarchist or punks wearing lots of black and metal studs?
Perhaps its a more intellectual way of 'giving it to the man'?
Surveillance has the ability to gather important information but it also has an equal ability of gathering nonessential data for the corporate or governments greater good (which might not necessarily match societies).
