A collage of British prime minister Gordon Brown made out of hundreds of pictures taken with the ubiquitous government surveillance cameras known as CCTV was unveiled today in London’s Parliament Square. The event, which is called ‘Freedom, not Fear: The Big Picture,’ was patronized by a human rights organization called ORG/No2ID as a form of protest against the British government’s camera surveillance program.  The result was this huge, Big-Brother-esque photo of Gordon Brown looking over Parliament Square against a background of barbed wire, handcuffs and double helices: an image of the society of total surveillance the UK is rapidly becoming. Our message was clear: although as individuals we only see incremental invasions of our privacy, put together, these creeping changes constitute a wholesale shift towards a society predicated not on freedom, but on fear.
