Vejam abaixo vdeo do grupo LOCA (UK), “Set to Discovery”, apresentando em 2006 em San Jose, EUA.
O grupo discute a questo da vigilncia e da invaso da privacidade em redes sem fio, aqui, mostrando as redes bluetooth usadas por telefones celulares. LOCA busca assim tornar visveis esses territrios informacionais, mostrando como fcil coletar informao pessoal sem alterar as configuraes dos celulares, sem pedir autorizao ao usurio, e sem hacking…apenas “detectando” o que eles enviam voluntariamente e, na maioria das vezes, sem saber.
Citei esse exemplo no meu artigo sobre territrios informacionais…Abaixo trechos do texto de Drew Hemment:
“Deploying a cluster of interconnected, self-sufficient Bluetooth nodes across downtown San Jose, the Loca art group were able to track and communicate with the residents of San Jose via their cellphone without their permission or knowledge, so long as they had a Bluetooth device set to discoverable. Over 7 days more than two thousand five hundred people were detected more than half a million (500,000) times by the Loca node network, enabling the team to build up a detailed picture of their movements. People were sent messages from a stranger with intimate knowledge of their movements. Over the course of the week the tone of the messages changed, ‘coffee later?’ changing to ‘r u ignoring me?’.”
