For the midterm, I wanted to extend my Voyeurism project in some way. My program connects to public (i.e. not password protected) IP cameras in 2 bars in Europe. The patrons of these bars are unaware that they are being broadcasted. While there is no expectation of real privacy when in a public space like a bar, there is something invasive about being watched by someone who is across the Atlantic Ocean. The green-rimmed boxes blur into obscurity any people and objects underneath them. They remind users that they are participating in an intrusion, and also allow them an opportunity to give privacy back to the patrons they are watching.
