‘This might sound like I’m wearing a tinfoil hat…’ – Knowledge workers’ perceptions of privacy and surveillance in group-based communicative AI
This study examines knowledge workers’ perspectives on privacy implications and surveillant functionalities of group-based communicative AI in the context of work. The objective is to connect the ongoing examination of communicative AI in the workplace to research on privacy and employee surveillance, and to use the framework of privacy as contextual integrity as a theoretical lens through which some of the user perspectives on communicative AI t…
Flock of Rogue Drones
This story of Natalija is inspired by Evgeny Zubkov’s artwork titled Russia 2046. The piece depicts an old woman feeding breadcrumbs to drones. We imagine that where the drones are now, there once were birds. What are the relations of these various actors and how can we understand this change? For us, the image of Natalija encapsulates the relationships we as humans can form with non-living creatures, the spaces we share and the practices we enga…
Surveillance
Surveillance has become an important topic in many academic fields, including geography. Surveillance is usually understood as observing people's behavior for the purpose of managing them. Surveillance can be visual, biometric, or based on personal data. Furthermore, surveillance can take place online or focus on physical space or location. Current research understands surveillance not only as a top‐down mechanism but also as a social experience.…
Ludic encounters – understanding surveillance through game metaphors
This article explores the connections between game studies and surveillance studies. Although much of previous research analyzes surveillance as an oppressive practice, a more critical approach has recently identified the playful and enjoyable sides of watching and exposing. Surveillance in fact has many playful and game-like functions, which have not yet been addressed in their full extent. In this article, the vocabulary of play and game is use…
Surveillance on/off: Examining home surveillance systems from the user's perspective
Surveillance equipment, especially cameras and access control devices, are increasingly introduced into homes and other private dwellings. Residents use the equipment in their daily lives in places where they are both operators and targets of these systems. Thus far, the concrete practices of these systems use or the users’ feelings towards them have not been investigated. This article sets out to examine the surveillance produced with home surve…
