In the article named Visualizing Your Identity, Kholood Eid, with written and visual clarity, gives dozens of examples of previous attempts by photography to grapple with the more amazed, sad and lonely moment from the portrait. The photography wants to recall the story belongs to the main figure by her cameras. These series inspired me to think about the same thesis projects by the different media.

In the article named Are You Ready? Here is All the Data Facebook and Google Have on You, Dylan Gurran describe Facebook and Google collects all data on you even if you don’t have an account. Moreover, telephone companies have wiretapping to governments for more 100 years. The example is that communicate by telephone is manual. And surveillance takes manually and wires are connoted by hand. The call was recorded to tape. The telephones and the networks built surveillance features into the very core of their networks. All of this data is transparent to the company owner and the government, so we can try to minimize the use of these apps.
