LOCA

LOCA, um dos grupos que me chamou mais a atenção para essa questão toda de como nós popularizamos meios que, no futuro, (ou mesmo até já hoje) deixaremos de ter controle.

"Loca aims to lightly touch large numbers of people. The aim is not complex interaction, but subtle affect, and only a minority of people will receive it, let alone give it any more than passing thought. Loca is like a picture glanced at sideways, a message caught in the corner of the eye, or a mosquito swatted on the arm.

(...)

Loca does not ask people in advance; it does not want their permission. Not to obtain people's permission was a difficult decision, but it was felt necessary for the validity of the project - which sets out to make visible the limits of what is technically, legally and ethically possible, and to put people's responses to pervasive surveillance environments at the centre of the debate".
