surveillance art, to me, seems to bring an issue to my mind that has been so internalized that i still am struggling to find it interesting. The issue of privacy and its implication in modern day society has seem so removed from me due to only seeing word of it in the newspapers or elsewhere. However, "Big Brother Big Business" does help me see how truly monitored I am. Unfortunately, to me, this news falls somewhat flat as I can only appreciate this information but can do virtually nothing to stop it. It seems to have become the status quo to be monitored and recorded and call me blase' attitude generational ignorance but I can't really tie myself up with an issue that I can't change.
the idea of "big brother" is interesting to me only in the sense that it looks as if people are abandoning religion only to create this replica of religion in the form of the "all seeing and all knowing database". Unlike religion, when we are in the wrong it isn't our soul that will be punished but our physical self.
