1/ Lightning
The authorities, used to calm the contesters with some dazzling lightnings. It no longer works. They all wear sun lenses.

2/Iris
Iris is an acronym.
It means : Iris Recognizes Identity for Security
But everybody has forgotten about the security purpose.
Each corporation, each family, each government wants their Iris system in order to control people.

3/Matte
People started to avoid accessories with matte finish.
They had noticed that a gloss finish reflected light and was mor efficient to hide from the numerous cameras responsible for monitoring.

4/Focus
As the police couldn't have a camera aimed at each citizen, they focused on certain categories of people, statistically determined.
The resistance, therefore, started to recruit in every sector of the population.

5/Clap
As the rebels were watched almost all the time, they had to imagine new means of communication. The way they clapped hands in concerts and theater plays was one.

6/Extra
Besides the cameras, the police had a complex program which analyzed people's habits. If your behaviour deflected too much from the recorded path, you deserved an extra watching.

7/Location
People suffering from chronic diseases are offered a monitoring chip which could record health data, but also the person's location.
We think that the latter information is too dangerous if placed in malicious hands.

8/Prop
Each thing you use, from the pavement you walk on, to the prop to hold your bike, is likely to be a watching device.
You can't escape any of the public monitoring systems. All you can do is feeding them with false data.

9/Boom
People progressively started to watch their relatives' lives and got used to the tools. This can explain the good acceptance and the absence of contestation to the boom of state watching.

10/Intermission
The watching center records videos all the time, with no intermission. But the watchers aren't humans. Abnormal behaviours are supposed to be detected by a specifically trained artificial intelligence.

11/Shot
The police communication services talked a lot about a few shots on the watching public cameras. After that, they announced that they would put weapons on their owns cameras.
Nobody protested.

12/Camera
In the watching era we live in, everything can be a camera.
The phone you're using, of course, the car you see in the street, but also, the shop window, the looking glass in the toilets, your neighbor's watch, your new ring... Anything.

13/Reel
Managing all the collected data is as difficult as if they had reels to keep.
What other pertinent labels than the date and the place could the police attach to the records?
No one knows the future, so they have to use their intuition.

14/Tracking
You all have already been told about tracking cookies. But do you know real tracking-food exists?
It works with tiny antennas that you can put into your cooking, which activate when eaten. During a few hours, you can localize the eater.

15/Wipe
Some security agents had a gestual signal that automatically wiped their image from the cameras records.
They had to change it when they realized that some rebels knew it.

16/Close-up
The new cameras are incredibly performant. Their extreme wide angle lens enables an almost total watching, and their close-up capabilities seem infinite.
However, there still remain some blind spots.

17/Scene
When one person is specifically watched, their activities are recorded, with images or not, and cut into scenes that are indexed and archived.
It's so much work, that only dangerous activists are concerned.

18/Projector
Some police agents have little projectors included into their glasses, and an access to many sensitive databases.
This devices' security is quite easy to get around.

19/Exposure
For a given person, with no particularities, the exposure to watching devices is huge.
But, if you have suspect activities, like belonging to a cultural club or using security apps, your exposure increases, almost to total watching.

20/Zoetrope
Some places, especially well frequented main squares only had still cameras, taking photos at periodic intervals.
With the shots, the analysis program could reconstruct someone's moves, just like a zoetrope.

21/Rushes
Each AI has a human partner, someone reading attentively all its reports and who rushes to their console at the first abnormal result.
The couple mixes the best of the two worlds, for an optimal watching.

22/Cut
Some nonhuman agents of the watching service have inexplicably developed a passion for some specific activities.
One of them loves to watch people cutting things. The camera they control is, therefore, full of such scenes, at the expense of other events.

23/Stunt
Some activists play absurd theatre scenes in front of the automated watching cameras in order to stunt the AI's real time analysis.
Unable to understand what they are seeing, they eventually freeze.

24/Lense
The street watching cameras have self-cleaning lenses since the activists used to obstruct them with a simple layer of paint.
But they're still vulnerable to the lids which are sometimes put before them.

25/Actinism
The activists usually wear red clothes in order to stay discreet.
It's paradoxical, but what matters is not their visibility for a human eye, but the low actinism of the colors they wear, because the cameras are the firsts to watch them.

26/Gel
Each great building has a checkpoint with a weapons and liquid detector.
For years, gel explosives weren't detected, then were very easy to get inside.

27/Cameo
The activists defy the authorities by getting inside the fortified places. They, then, send the police photos of details that can't be made up, with inserted pictures of cartoons characters in cameo.

28/Outtake
Watching the watchers is one of the activists's habits. Sometimes they send messages to the cops, with some special outtakes of one or the other's private life.
It's kind of an intimidation game.

29/Duotone
In order to save money and storage, most cameras record in gray scale or duotone. They sometimes have to colorize the movies to analyze some details.

30/Wrap
One way people could avoid being filmed by the watching cameras was wrapping themselves in a green blanket while wearing green makeup. The AI, trained on cinema techniques, would erase them from the video.
