Watching the Watchers – guide to surveillance in the urban habitat
The city is watching. Always. But who is watching back?On this walk, you’ll explore the city’s hidden layer: cameras, sensors, and systems quietly recording life in public space. Mounted on buildings, streetlights, and intersections, they are often unnoticed — yet everywhere.Together, we learn to recognize them. From security cameras to smart traffic systems, from retail surveillance to municipal sensors. What do they see? Who controls them? And what does it mean to be constantly observed?We’re not just walking through the city, but through its infrastructure of observation. By looking more closely, what usually remains invisible begins to surface.Because public space is not neutral. It is measured, tracked, and interpreted.This walk invites you to question, to notice, and to reposition yourself within a city that is becoming ever more aware — and watchful.The city may not belong entirely to us. But we can learn to look back.
