I Spy

Studio 360 | Oct 5, 2011

There are so many surveillance cameras installed in public spaces (malls, gas stations, ATMs) that you can be photographed hundreds of times in a day.

The top–selling iPhone app iSpy lets the user watch thousands of live–streaming closed–circuit television cameras around the world. You can look in on a bar in Taipei, a ritzy hotel in Moscow, a quiet harbor in Norway. It might sound creepy, but Studio 360’s Eric Molinsky finds this anonymous voyeurism comforting.
