Surveillance: The Big Picture

Tom Griffin, 10 - 10 - 2008

Tom Griffin (London, OK): There's still time to get your camera out if you want to take part in a major Europe-wide protest against the database state this Saturday:

NO2ID have teamed up with the Open Rights Group to show Parliament the 'Big Picture' by constructing a giant image made out of thousands of pictures taken by UK citizens of surveillance state ephemera. YOU can join this protest from anywhere in the UK by simply sending us a photo. We would like you to send us a picture of 'the database state' in YOUR life. We want images of the signs of mass surveillance, and any form of intrusive ID or state control - cameras, cards, scanners, forms, whatever you like.
Photos should be sent to FreedomNotFear@no2id.net. Some of those already submitted can be seen on this Flickr page.
This article adheres to the openDemocracy.net principles.
