Once free, our world has drifted toward a mass surveillance system. Corporations, states, and communities are now driven by the same obsession: tracking everyone, anytime. In such an environment, I believe there is an inherent desire within any individual to exist for and within themselves. A desire to escape the statistical determination of a behavioral model imposed on everyone in order to control crowds, similar to a pack of things, not a group of beings. A strong desire for intimacy, in reaction to technological omniscience, will thrive in secret, shadowed by strong encryption. Whether in the streets, over the internet, or in all our communications, we face this global surveillance network. This is the new reality we need to question in order to redefine what it means to exist as an individual in the 21st century. Here, once encrypted, the character is no longer tracked and presents a much more graphical aspect. The more people in this crowd are encrypted, the harder it becomes to identify separate characters. They all end up merged into a graphical matter, while each keeps their singular visual identity. Privacy is a human right, and this fight requires collective awareness.
