This project’s purpose is to help display information about CCTV, cameras, to easily map where they are, what they can see, and get data about their usage in cities.
The website also gives you an easy way to contribute into the OpenStreetMap database if you want to add cameras when you see some that are not already known or improve the attributes of existing ones.
PanoptiCity is a way to act and try to raise awareness about mass surveillance in all cities, to make people realize the amount of cameras around us that we usually don’t even see anymore. In a time were artifical intelligence is generalizing, it is more than ever the moment to ask ourselves, is it really the model of society we want to build collectively ?
