abstract

Countersurveillance designs are a dynamic form of resistance, creatively responding to pervasive surveillance. The imaginary these designs created is a response to the virality of camera footage and a reflection on the current reality of power imbalance. This article explores their evolution from the WikiLeaks Scarf by Metahaven to modern wearables, emphasizing their empowerment, subversion of norms, and political statements. Case studies include Adam Harvey's iconic work and new contemporary brands. These designs challenge norms, and raise awareness about privacy protection, ultimately safeguarding one’s personal identity in the digital age.
