"Loca: Set To Discoverable is an arts-based group project on grass-roots, pervasive surveillance which seeks to expose the disconnect between people and the trails of digital identities they leave behind. Loca is an exercise in everyday surveillance, tracking digital bodies in physical space. It examines what happens when it is easy for everyone to track everyone, when surveillance can be affected by consumer level technology within peer-to-peer networks without being routed through a central point. Pervasive surveillance is potentially both sinister and positive at the same time, enabling all sorts of context aware interaction, while also introducing yet new ways in which we may be surveilled and ultimately controlled."
