The permanence of the panopticon may actually provide appeal to immovable, stubborn ideologies, with its offering of isolation based in theory. The panopticon is difficult to imagine as active in contemporary society as, the ordinance-based society disables us of our ability to construct an authoritative, regulatory body and building that presides over a politically chaotic space.

I chose the text from Hadaway, P. (2018) ‘Escaping the Panopticon’, in Burbridge, B. and Pollen, A. (eds) Photography reframed: new visions in contemporary photographic culture. Taylor & Francis. Panopticon was used in prisons where the guard was in the middle and the inmate around him in cells. The prisoners couldn’t see the guard in his booth. On the other hand the guard was able to see everyone. So this idea of being watched started for the prisoners. You didn’t know if you were being watched by the guard so you couldn’t make something to escape because of the fear of being watched.

In modern days, surveillance is more common than ever. You can see CCTV cameras everywhere, from buildings to shops, public spaces, streets and so on. People are being watched everyday from these cameras for their own safety. For example if something illegal happens, a camera might capture the moment of the incident and then the authorities take place. But are we really safe? We sacrifice our privacy without even being asked by someone if we really want to.

If you think of it in another way, it’s more likely to be a way to control the people. You can’t do anything because the authorities will find out anytime soon. For example you cannot protest anymore. The government can identify protesters and immediately be arrested, so the weapon of resistance fades away.

Photographers cannot anymore use their cameras to capture public spaces because of surveillance reasons. Why is it happening and why people can’t use pictures from certain places. Photographers will no longer be able to take pictures in public and I will finish with this note from ‘Escaping the panopticon’. “Perhaps the determination not to be ‘shooed away like a pigeon’ but to resolutely defend the right to stand, stare and take pictures in a public square seems almost whimsical in the face of the power of the contemporary surveillance state. Yet, as muddled authoritarianism interposes itself further and further into our everyday's social relations, the commitment to negotiate rights, responsibilities and the limits of freedom with one another may soon become a vital act of resistance and solidarity.”

"Perhaps one of the most strikingly panoptical innovations of recent times, talking CCTV links surveillance cameras to teams of watchers, who monitor, discipline and scold citizens for dropping litter or committing other forms of antisocial behaviour."

"'Separated individuals' remain subject to 'a state of conscious and permanent visibility', under the all-seeing eye of authority" - We are aware there are cameras watching and recording so if we do anything bad it will be captures and used against us. The use of signs and placing the camera is a very obvious position means everyone is aware it is capturing them as an attempted deterrent against criminals.

This image shows how they make it obvious that you are under surveillance so that you might behave as there is a threat that someone might be watching you.

“argue the moral and metaphysical status of a machine on the basis of its psychology: Does the machine know what it is doing? Does it have intentions, consciousness, feelings?”

“It was Jean Piaget who discovered the child as metaphysician.”

-an expert in or student of the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being and knowing.

“And so a dichotomy is constructed: physical and psychological properties stand opposed to one another in two great systems. The physical is used to understand things, the psychological to understand people and animals. But the computer is a new kind of object— psychological, yet a thing.”

My image was taken mid-photoshoot without the model knowing, the concept is that we don’t get to choose when we are being watched, and its something we have to live with in the 21st century

Although Ioannis knew he was being photographed by daniel he didn't know I was taking pictures behind the scenes which creates a CCTV feeling towards this image.

Landscape Photographys 'New Humanism' Chad Elias

"the photographic event is not centred on the depiction of human action but, rather, the traces of its effect"
"Silvas approach to imaging landscapes in which human presence is implied rather than directly pictured is informed by the new topographics"

The human presence is implied in this photograph with the well maintained garden. The TV aerial and the open window further suggest that the house is lived in. They are traces of the the human impact.
