Motion detectors are everywhere and alert to
human movements. If one is aware then you know power comes with authority very
often this is dominated by its controlled manipulation if one is in power have it
made. But democratic often never gets a chance as it multiplied by dominance
pervasive forces, it the beauty of freewill sort of speak. Market has to be
endured by this exploited often control by the sinister, no matter what the costs
the more the merrier. So a garment clothes for the 'fashionably paranoid':
The
Stealth Wear line of anti-surveillance which clothing has gone on display at a
West London boutique this week and includes an anti-drone hoodie. Also on offer
is a pouch for carrying mobile phones made from a special 'attenuating fabric'
which blocks the signal so it can't be tracked or intercepted by the
authorities and there is also a shirt designed with an x-ray shielding print in
the shape of a heart which is intended to protect the wearer's heart from
damaging x-ray radiation. Artist Adam Harvey, who collaborated with fashion
designer Johanna Bloomfield to come up with the range, said the pieces are
intended to provoke a debate about the increasing ubiquity of surveillance
across society.
A landmark Freedom of Information lawsuit by the Electronic
Frontier Foundation last year forced federal authorities to reveal there are at
least 63 active drone sites around the U.S.The unmanned planes – some of which
may have been designed to kill terror suspects – As these are being launched. Its very well if one is a president what if one is considered a target like for example a previous ministerial person 'that's life'.


A slave that is used from locations in 20 states and flying spy
sorties across American soil. Most of the active drones are deployed from
military installations, enforcement agencies and border patrol teams, according
to the Federal Aviation Authority. In the UK police forces including Merseyside
Police have trilled the use of remote-controlled drones to replace helicopters
to conduct surveillance that would usually be undertaken by helicopters.
Provocative As Mr Harvey said he came up with the line primarily as an art concept intended to
spark a debate about the use of military surveillance technology away from the
battlefield by civilian law enforcement agencies. However, due to the expensive
materials used in the design of the clothing, they are unlikely to go on sale
in your local Primark anytime soon. Mr Harvey, who hasn't yet pinned down the
retail prices for his garments, jokes that his target demographic is the
'fashionably paranoid market'. The counter-surveillance Stealth Wear range is
on display from today at the Primitive boutique in Great Portland Street in
West London, until January 31 Trendier alternative to the tin-foil hat: Artist
Adam Harvey's clothing range includes a Hood and a scarf made with special
metallised fabrics that can thwart the infra-red heat-seeking cameras deployed
on drones.

Those concerned about the conspiratorial
machinations of the state surveillance infrastructure can now swap their
tin-foil hats for a more fashion conscious accessory. A New York-based artist
has designed an 'anti-drone hoodie' stitched from metallised material used to
counter the infra-red cameras that spy drones use to spot people on the ground.
It is part of a line of high-tech 'Stealth Wear' that can thwart cameras and
block tracking signals, which has been unveiled in London this week. Spy in the
sky:
The aerial surveillance drone trialled by Merseyside Police five years
ago. It was this increased use of military-style surveillance technologies in
civilian environments that inspired the 31-year-old artist to come up with with
the clothing line. 'Military technology is coming home from the war,' Mr Harvey
told book club . 'These
pieces are designed to live with it, to cope with it — to live in a world where
surveillance is happening all the time.'He came up with the range, which also
includes an anti-drone scarf, primarily as an exercise in provocative
conceptual art, but the garments will also be manufactured for sale to the
public.
