A walking tour of surveillance infrastructure in Seattle

A walking tour guide documents surveillance infrastructure throughout downtown Seattle, identifying various tracking technologies including surveillance cameras, facial recognition systems, and retail tracking tools like Amazon Go that monitor consumer behavior and movement. The guide, developed in partnership with the Tech Equity Coalition and ACLU of Washington, examines how these "smart city" technologies collect data and encode social biases that can reinforce stereotypes and unequal enforcement. The tour encourages participants to recognize hidden surveillance in everyday spaces and question the societal implications of pervasive data collection.
