Norway::Security
We
have never been so public. At the same time we have never felt less
secure.
There are 1412 (data
valid July 2011) webcams in Norway. Programmed for Piksel 2011,
Bergen,
Norway::Security constantly searches its
data base of public webcams. Over these random images
it superimposes the
names of International terrorists from the FBI's the Most Wanted list.
Norway::Security juxtaposes identified threats with unremarkable images
of the ordinary.
Software:
Norway::Security is free and
open source software.
It uses Perl, JavaScript, and HTML. The sourcecode is here.
