= Surveillance is all about when people in authority know a lot about you. Instrumentation is when you know a lot about the world. And it allows you have more agency. When people know a lot about you it takes away your agency. [1]
Description
Tische Shute:
"Instrumenting the World requires new models of data sharing. Last year, Cory Doctorow described to me an instrumentation model of data.
An Instrumentation model for data differs from a surveillance model of data sharing. Instrumentation is “when you know a lot about the world,” in contrast to surveillance - “when people in authority know a lot about you”."
