本章介绍了sousveillance以及我们如何产生、监控和对与我们自己相关的数据做出反应，从而创建一个量化的自我。 “sousveillance”一词是指通过自我生成的数据对一个人的生活进行个人监控和管理。通过传感器和摄像头持续跟踪个人数据并进行记录和分析，可以让人们管理和记录日常生活。当时研究团队、公司和艺术家正在探索的关键技术理念是生活日志。最终目标是通过所有五种人类感官对大脑经历的所有认知输入进行同步数字化，以创建一个人生活经历的数字并行记忆。然而，生活日志提出了一系列道德和法律问题，但这些问题在很大程度上被忽视了。生活日志将使独裁的老大哥社会更容易建立，更难以推翻。与此同时，随着人们对真空监测和生活日志产生兴趣，所谓的“亲密技术”——即为个人服务的数字技术，如智能手机和可穿戴计算——开始迅速流行。这些技术得到了所谓的“窥视技术”的补充和支持，即数字技术能够带来观看和被观看的乐趣。
This chapter presents an account of sousveillance and how we produce, monitor, and react to data relating to ourselves, thus creating a quantified self. The term sousveillance refers to the personal monitoring and management of one's life through self-generated data. Continuously tracking personal data via sensors and cameras, and recording and analyzing them, would allow a person to manage and memorialize everyday life. The key technological idea that research teams, companies and artists were exploring at the time was lifelogs. The ultimate aim is the simultaneous digitization of all cognitive inputs experienced by the brain via all five human senses to create a digital parallel memory of the lived experiences of a person. However, lifelogs raise a series of ethical and legal questions that were largely being bypassed. Lifelogs would make an authoritarian, Big Brother society easier to put in place and more difficult to overthrow. At the same time as people became interested in sousveillance and lifelogs, so-called 'intimate technologies' — that is, digital tech that are in service to the individual, such as smartphones and wearable computing — started to grow enormously in popularity. These were complemented, and supported, by what might be termed 'scopophilic technologies', that is, digital tech that enable pleasure in looking and being looked at.
