The Internet of Things (sensors for things), like the game box that captures pictures of you in your underwear in your living room, and streams encrypted data back to the "mother ship", is surveillance. "Surveillance" is a French word that means, in English, "oversight" (over-watching, or watching over). The other veillance (sight) is undersight ("sousveillance", more recently known as "Quantified Self", "Body Hacking", "biohacking", or "transhumanism").
WHAT (Wearables, Humans, And Things) happens when we put oversight (surveillance) and undersight (souveillance) together(?)
WHAT is veillance(?)
Games are not always formal and they don't always require a computational device. In real life, we also play games, as popularized by Eric Berne's seminal book, "Games People Play".
Consumer electronics devices, such as a known game box, spy on us, yet are often of a "closed source" design so we can't look back at them (e.g. it is difficult for us to understand what's happening inside them).
"Veillance Games People Play" since the relationship between the surveilled and the surveillors may be thought of as human relationships gone awry as outlined in the field of Transactional Analysis. For example, in stores that use surveillance cameras but do not allow the customers to take photos themselves, the store or security guard takes on the role of "Parent" and this causes an inherent clash when an "Adult" enters the space and doesn't want to be an "I'm not OK, you're OK" child. The best situation is "I'm OK, You're OK", which can never happen with surveillance.
This panel will be different from the usual conference panels since the discussion will not be limited to just an hour during the conference. The panel discussion will start before the conference, continue face-to-face at the conference, and continue after the conference. The pre-conference discussion will take place in a Facebook blog format - see: https://www.facebook.com/WHAT2016. The conference attendees will be invited to write papers about these topics after the conference. Following a review, the accepted papers will be published in a journal, magazine, or in a book.
