“Eyes Everywhere” snapshots of an A.I. surveillance society
 
When I stumbled upon a series of old photographs showing a glimpse of life before AI surveillance, I was inspired to create my own photo series.
 
For the “Eyes Everywhere” series, I dusted off my old film camera to secretly document the citizens of the bleak, dystopian world I lived in. I captured images of people walking the streets with their heads down, avoiding the all-seeing eyes of the AI cameras. I took pictures of the fear and anxiety in their eyes, and the emotional toll of constant surveillance.
 
I knew I was taking a huge risk. If I was caught, I could be arrested and my photographs seized. But I felt driven to continue, to document the truth of life under AI surveillance.
 
Finally, after months of work, the photo series was completed. I feel it is a powerful and poignant depiction of the world I live in, and I hope it will inspire others to stand up for their rights and fight against oppressive AI surveillance.
