consider capturing text in public vs capturing a photo
Smolicki’s experiment with wearable camera’s concluded that your own surroundings are ‘only superficially private’ ⤴️⤴️ as other people’s lives become the subject
- “an inherently imbalanced field of power dynamics. My presence within this field was privileged at the cost of all the others not aware of constituting the subject of capture.” ⤴️
- “I encountered no strong objections to my wearing of the device (except on one occasion, to which I will return shortly), especially not in public spaces.” ⤴️
- for whom and in what circumstances would you and wouldn’t you receive complaint / be kicked out / experience hostility / worse, for violating either assumed or explicit privacy
when is privacy expectation implicit and explicit?
“a variety of ways that the term privacy is comprehended (and performed) by individuals which stems from, for example, their diverse cultural backgrounds (cf. discussion on culture-specific meaning of privacy in Ess, 2013, p.109).” ->⤴️
“risk of disrespecting such individual opinions (cultural) differences and attitudes in relation to this concern.” ->⤴️
