surveillance

is today at an ambiguous intersection of care and control. It covers all aspects of the public and private life of individuals in the real-time and also in terms of future intentions and projects.

As Lyon posits, surveillance is ambiguous, and is understood in its ambiguity from care to control, and the role of visibility of the surveiled is taken as seriously as the process of observing, classifying and studying (Lyon 2006). Surveillance covers all aspects of the public and private life of individuals as they are implemented in the real-time and also in terms of future intentions and projects (ibid.).
