Below is an article I found on anti-surveillance clothing. The concept of the clothing is really interesting and raises valuable questions and makes you question whether this is the point in life that we have got to - that we can't just walk the streets without fear of being watched. However I don't think the clothes line is meant to be taken seriously or at least to the degree of 'what has the world come to' rather than make us more aware of how much we are watched. Using fashion as a creative outlet to express a strong opinion has worked well in this case as it visually shows the problem in hand.
Collectively, Stealth Wear is a vision for fashion that addresses the rise of surveillance, the power of those who surveil, and the growing need to exert control over what we are slowly losing, our privacy.
Building off previous work with CV Dazzle, camouflage from face detection, Stealth Wear continues to explore the aesthetics of privacy and the potential for fashion to challenge authoritarian surveillance. Presented by Primitive at Tank Magazine were a suite of new designs that tackle some of the most pressing and sophisticated forms of surveillance today. The counter-surveillance solutions include a series of ‘Anti-Drone’ garments and the Off Pocket™, a privacy accessory that allows you to instantly zero out your phone’s signal.
The rationale behind the hijab and burqa is that it provides a separation between ‘man and God’. Similarly, the rationale behind the ‘Anti-Drone’ Burqa and Hijab are to provide a separation between 'man and drone'.
