Creepy Art Installations Reveal How You're Always Under Surveillance…

• True Activist

It's nearly impossible nowadays to live in society without handing over your identity and having your whereabouts recorded 24/7. Truly. One cannot walk through a mall and not have their face caught on camera, and it's very difficult to maintain a sense of privacy when one swipe of a credit card or a phone call documents your location on a global database.

While this is anything but inconspicuous to some, it's unnerving for many others – for many reasons which are likely covered in Edward Snowden's 2013 global surveillance disclosure. 

If you're one of the individuals put off by the constant surveillance, you'll love what artist Jakub Geltner has been up to.

Similar to the activism carried out by artists in the Netherlands for George Orwell's 110th birthday, Geltner's project, called Nests, emphasizes the infection of surveillance in everyday life.
