Artwork title : The Panopticon.

The Panopticon is a disciplinary concept introduced by Englis philosopher Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept implies that a guard can see all inmates in their prison cells at the same time. Since inmates do not see the guard they will never know whether or not they are being watched, a prisoner comes to believe that he is under constant surveilance, and he behaves accordingly. Video surveilance cameras provide outdoor and indoor security and protection solutions for airports, banks, government institutions and business enterprises. On the one hand, cameras enhance security, but on the other hand, no one can give a 100% guarantee that the information obtained will not be used with malicious intent. While seemingly creating regulation in even the smallest details of everyday life, mass surveillance provides solution to one problem, but creates new ones. Where are the red lines? Where is the boundary? Are we prepared to sacrifice our privacy hoping for our safety and security which no system can guarantee? Todays world is in chaos, in crisis, but no system can bring order to it unless it the order is inside a person. What we have inside us we project outside, and until there is order inside, we will not have it outside. What we are facing nowadays is the human value crisis. Technologies are becoming more valuable and important than men. It would seem that all this is done in the name of the order, for the benefit of humanity. However, the methods of coercion cannot be relied on to achieve the goal sought. Deep psychological regeneration of a person cannot come from outside. When the system becomes more important that a person, the person living in such system is just a tool that is used to achieve efficiency.
