A German art project could help the British avoid the oppressive proliferation of surveillance cameras in their country. The I-R.A.S.C is simple, consisting of a circle of infra-red LEDs mounted on a headband. The infra red is invisible to The Man, but will cause CCTV cameras to flare out over the face of the wearer, obscuring his identity and making this the digital equivalent of a hooded sweatshirt.
This is not a production unit, but given that you'd only need a hat, a battery and a few LEDs, you could easily knock one up in the garage.

Infrarotlicht gegen Überwachungskameras Infrared light against surveillance cameras
Das von URA / FILOART entwickelte Gerät verspricht den BürgerInnen einen zuverlässigeren Schutz vor Sicherheitsmaßnahmen des Staates (und anderen Überwachenden). By URA / FILOART developed device promises to the citizens of a reliable protection against security measures of the government (and other Überwachenden). IR.ASC bietet die Sicherheit vor der Sicherheit und weist somit auf die Asymmetrie der Kräfte zwischen dem Überwachenden und dem Individuum hin. IR.ASC offers security against the security and indicates to the asymmetry of power between the individual and the Überwachenden.
Neben für Überwachungszwecke organisierten Interaktionssystemen zwischen Mensch und Maschine stellt IR.ASC noch eine zusätzliche Interaktion zwischen Maschinen dar. Diese absurde Anhäufung von Technik ist symptomatisch, denn obwohl der ganze Aufwand der Schutzmaßnahmen für die vermeintliche Sicherheit der BürgerInnen gemacht wird, rutscht der Mensch auf der Bedeutungsskala des gegenwärtigen Sicherheitskonzeptes immer tiefer nach unten. Besides for monitoring purposes organized systems interaction between man and machine IR.ASC added another interaction between machines is in absurd accumulation of technology is symptomatic, because although the whole burden of protection measures for the alleged safety of citizens is made, the man slips on the Importance scale of the current security concept deeper down.
IR.ASC ist ein Infrarotlicht - Gerät zum Abschirmen vor Infrarotüberwachungskameras. IR.ASC is an infrared light - before Divining device for infrared surveillance cameras. Es kann ohne besonderes technisches Wissen von jedem nachgebaut werden. There is no special technical knowledge of each copied. Das Gerät strahlt infrarotes Licht aus, das die Aufnahmen von Infrarot-Überwachungskameras stört. The device emits infrared light from the recordings of infrared surveillance cameras bother. Das Gesicht der überwachten Person wird von einem Lichtball überdeckt. The face of the person is monitored by a light ball over. Da die ganze Interaktion in einem nicht sichtbaren Spektrum (in Frequenzen zwischen 780nm und 1mm) erfolgt, bemerkt der Mensch nichts davon bzw. er sieht weder die infrarote Strahlenemission der Überwachungskamera noch die von der IR.ASC Since the whole interaction in a non-visible spectrum (at frequencies between 780nm and 1mm), the man noticed nothing of it or he sees neither the infrared radiation emission from the surveillance camera nor the IR.ASC
Während der Ausstellung kann man das Gerät ausprobieren und das Videomaterial mit Live Aufnahmen anschauen. During the exhibition can try the device and the video footage with live recordings chart. Weitere Video und Print Materialien informieren über die Diskussionsrunde „Schutz vor dem Schutz - Überwachung und Disziplinierung im öffentlichen Raum“, anlässlich des IR.ASC Projektes, 2007 im Kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin, präsentiert. Other video and print materials provide information about the discussion round "against the protection - to monitor and discipline in public space" on the occasion of the IR.ASC project, 2007 at the Kunsthaus Tacheles, Berlin.
