How does a thermal camera see us? Thermal imaging has recently been used as a new form of surveillance. Police use it to monitor protesters or riot youth worldwide. Shops use it to identify customers or thieves. More companies, like Amazon, are using it to screen employers for symptoms of infections like COVID 19. Thermal camera makers like FLIR Systems are collecting thermal image datasets of public spaces to analyze and improve this technology. As citizens, we know little about what information is being taken from us. What are we disclosing to a thermal camera? To explore the perspective of the thermal camera, I photographed human bodies by looking for heat in the center of The Hague. One of the most surveilled areas in The Hague. An estimated 5,000 cameras have been installed in the city, 8% of which belong to the government.

How do young people shape our culture?
By moving away from the value system, we learned at home, as young adults our new friends play an important role in creating new behaviors. The new manners and patterns of behavior change not only our inner system, but also the outside world. Each generation of young people brings with it, new values and norms, which are formed in interaction with each other. Together, they create a new way to see and understand the world around us. Nothing stays as it is. What was has gone, something new is coming.
