Last year, Polygon ran an article about our search for an Atari VCS game developer by the name of “Ban Tran.” As we understood it, Tran was a Vietnamese woman who worked for a short-lived, Texas-based game company called Apollo, where she wrote Wabbit — the first console game to star a human girl — before the company declared bankruptcy towards the end of 1982.

Sometimes Preserving Video Game History Requires Partnering With the Enemy

In his tweet revealing the news, Cifaldi, who dedicated much of his life to preserving video game history where companies themselves often fail, seemed excited to finally share some of the rare video game history he was able to document by cooperating with Wata. But the response he got was not entirely enthusiastic. Some people responded with surprise and anger that he would work with Wata, which has been accused of making video game history harder to share with the public and contributing to a speculative investment bubble.

Ce qui a changé par rapport aux précédents records, c’est que l’agence de notation WataGames lui a décerné un 9.8A++, a priori la note maximale qu’un exemplaire de ce jeu pourrait décrocher, mais cela reste étonnant quand un 9.4A+ faisait presque quarante fois moins en début d’année. Et dans la mesure où Heritage Auctions récupère 20% de la transaction – le jeu a en réalité été adjugé à 1,3 millions – plus 5% de la somme touchée par le vendeur, on peut effectivement se demander s’il n’y a pas anguille sous roche… Car si la maison de vente aux enchères assure faire toutes les vérifications nécessaires, l’acheteur demeure en général anonyme à moins de se manifester publiquement. Les arnaques ne sont hélas pas nouvelles dans le jeu vidéo, avec des faux prototypes et kits de développement par exemple, mais c’est bien sûr à tout autre chose que l’on a affaire ici, bien plus subtile et plus légale en apparence.
Sur l’étonnante envolée des prix de jeux vidéo anciens, avec une relation consanguine, voire collusion, entre organisateurs des enchères et les évaluateurs des jeux, dont les acheteurs anonymes sont tantôt associés à des fonds d’investissements, tantôt les vendeurs, désireux de faire gonfler artificiellement les prix.
De manière connexe, on peut s’intéresser à la concentration constatée dans le marché de l’art en général :

#Academic_teaching and #trigger_warnings
In a #teaching_pedagogy seminar and in a discussion with the #equal_opportunities_office the topic of trigger warnings, a message about potentially #distressing #content, has been raised recently.
How to deal with it, I mean really practically, in my #courses?
Trigger Warnings | Centre for Teaching Excellence
A trigger warning is a statement made prior to sharing potentially disturbing content. That content might include graphic references to topics such as #sexual_abuse, #self-harm, #violence, #eating_disorders, and so on, and can take the form of an #image, #video_clip, #audio_clip, or piece of #text. In an #academic_context, the #instructor delivers these messages in order to allow students to prepare emotionally for the content or to decide to forgo interacting with the content.
Proponents of trigger warnings contend that certain course content can impact the #wellbeing and #academic_performance of students who have experienced corresponding #traumas in their own lives. Such students might not yet be ready to confront a personal #trauma in an academic context. They choose to #avoid it now so that they can deal with it more effectively at a later date – perhaps after they have set up necessary #resources, #supports, or #counselling. Other students might indeed be ready to #confront a personal trauma in an academic context but will benefit from a #forewarning of certain topics so that they can brace themselves prior to (for example) participating in a #classroom discussion about it. Considered from this perspective, trigger warnings give students increased #autonomy over their learning, and are an affirmation that the instructor #cares about their wellbeing.
However, not everyone agrees that trigger warnings are #necessary or #helpful. For example, some fear that trigger warnings unnecessarily #insulate students from the often harsh #realities of the world with which academics need to engage. Others are concerned that trigger warnings establish a precedent of making instructors or universities legally #responsible for protecting students from #emotional_trauma. Still others argue that it is impossible to anticipate all the topics that might be potentially triggering for students.
Trigger warnings do not mean that students can exempt themselves from completing parts of the coursework. Ideally, a student who is genuinely concerned about being #re-traumatized by forthcoming course content would privately inform the instructor of this concern. The instructor would then accommodate the student by proposing #alternative_content or an alternative learning activity, as with an accommodation necessitated by a learning disability or physical disability.
The decision to preface potentially disturbing content with a trigger warning is ultimately up to the instructor. An instructor who does so might want to include in the course syllabus a preliminary statement (also known as a “#content_note”), such as the following:
Our classroom provides an open space for the critical and civil exchange of ideas. Some readings and other content in this course will include topics that some students may find offensive and/or traumatizing. I’ll aim to #forewarn students about potentially disturbing content and I ask all students to help to create an #atmosphere of #mutual_respect and #sensitivity.
Prior to introducing a potentially disturbing topic in class, an instructor might articulate a #verbal_trigger_warning such as the following:
Next class our discussion will probably touch on the sexual assault that is depicted in the second last chapter of The White Hotel. This content is disturbing, so I encourage you to prepare yourself emotionally beforehand. If you believe that you will find the discussion to be traumatizing, you may choose to not participate in the discussion or to leave the classroom. You will still, however, be responsible for material that you miss, so if you leave the room for a significant time, please arrange to get notes from another student or see me individually.
A version of the foregoing trigger warning might also preface written materials:
The following reading includes a discussion of the harsh treatment experienced by First Nations children in residential schools in the 1950s. This content is disturbing, so I encourage everyone to prepare themselves emotionally before proceeding. If you believe that the reading will be traumatizing for you, then you may choose to forgo it. You will still, however, be responsible for material that you miss, so please arrange to get notes from another student or see me individually.
Trigger warnings, of course, are not the only answer to disturbing content. Instructional #strategies such as the following can also help students approach challenging material:
– Give your students as much #advance_notice as possible about potentially disturbing content. A day’s notice might not be enough for a student to prepare emotionally, but two weeks might be.
– Try to “scaffold” a disturbing topic to students. For example, when beginning a history unit on the Holocaust, don’t start with graphic photographs from Auschwitz. Instead, begin by explaining the historical context, then verbally describe the conditions within the concentration camps, and then introduce the photographic record as needed. Whenever possible, allow students to progress through upsetting material at their own pace.
– Allow students to interact with disturbing material outside of class. A student might feel more vulnerable watching a documentary about sexual assault while in a classroom than in the security of his or her #home.
– Provide captions when using video materials: some content is easier to watch while reading captions than while listening to the audio.
– When necessary, provide written descriptions of graphic images as a substitute for the actual visual content.
– When disturbing content is under discussion, check in with your students from time to time: #ask them how they are doing, whether they need a #break, and so on. Let them know that you are aware that the material in question is emotionally challenging.
– Advise students to be #sensitive to their classmates’ #vulnerabilities when they are preparing class presentations.
– Help your students understand the difference between emotional trauma and #intellectual_discomfort: the former is harmful, as is triggering it in the wrong context (such as in a classroom rather than in therapy); the latter is fundamental to a university education – it means our ideas are being challenged as we struggle to resolve cognitive dissonance.

Why Trigger Warnings Don’t Work
Because trauma #survivors’ #memories are so specific, increasingly used “trigger warnings” are largely #ineffective.
Fair warning labels at the beginning of movie and book reviews alert the reader that continuing may reveal critical plot points that spoil the story. The acronym NSFW alerts those reading emails or social media posts that the material is not suitable for work. The Motion Picture Association of America provides film ratings to advise about content so that moviegoers can make informed entertainment choices for themselves and their children.
Enter stage right: Trigger warning.
A trigger warning, most often found on #social_media and internet sites, alerts the reader that potentially upsetting information may follow. The words trigger warning are often followed by a subtitle such as *Trigger warning: This may be triggering to those who have struggled with _________. Fill in the blank. #Domestic_abuse. #Rape. #Body_image. #Needles. #Pregnancy.
Trigger warnings have become prevalent online since about 2012. Victim advocate Gayle Crabtree reports that they were in use as early as 1996 in chat rooms she moderated. “We used the words ‘trigger warning,’ ‘#tw,’ ‘#TW,’ and ‘trigger’ early on. …This meant the survivor could see the warning and then decide if she or he wanted to scroll down for the message or not.” Eventually, trigger warnings spread to social media sites including #Tumblr, #Twitter, and #Facebook.
The term seems to have originated from the use of the word “trigger” to indicate something that cues a #physiological_response, the way pollen may trigger an allergy attack. A trigger in a firearm is a lever that activates the sequence of firing a gun, so it is not surprising that the word was commandeered by those working in the field of #psychology to indicate objects and sensations that cause neurological firing in the brain, which in turn cause #feelings and #thoughts to occur.
Spoiler alerts allow us to enjoy the movie or book as it unfolds without being influenced by knowledge about what comes next. The NSFW label helps employees comply with workplace policies that prohibit viewing sexually explicit or profane material. Motion picture ratings enable viewers to select movies they are most likely to find entertaining. Trigger warnings, on the other hand, are “designed to prevent people who have an extremely strong and damaging emotional response… to certain subjects from encountering them unaware.”
Say what?
Say hogwash!
Discussions about trigger warnings have made headlines in the New Yorker, the Los Angeles Times, the Guardian, the New Republic, and various other online and print publications. Erin Dean writes that a trigger “is not something that offends one, troubles one, or angers one; it is something that causes an extreme involuntary reaction in which the individual re-experiences past trauma.”
For those individuals, it is probably true that coming across material that reminds them of a traumatic event is going to be disturbing. Dean’s definition refers to involuntary fear and stress responses common in individuals with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder characterized by intrusive memories, thoughts, or dreams; intense distress at cues that remind the individual of the event; and reactivity to situations, people, or objects that symbolize the event. PTSD can result from personal victimization, accidents, incarceration, natural disasters, or any unexpected injury or threat of injury or death. Research suggests that it results from a combination of genetic predisposition, fear conditioning, and neural and physiological responses that incorporate the body systems and immunological responses. Current theories suggest that PTSD represents “the failure to recover from the normal effects of trauma.” In other words, anyone would be adversely affected by trauma, but natural mechanisms for healing take place in the majority of individuals. The prevalence of PTSD ranges from 1.9 percent in Europe to 3.5 percent in the United States.
The notion that trigger warnings should be generalized to all social media sites, online journals, and discussion boards is erroneous.
Some discussions have asserted that because between one in four and one in five women have been sexually abused, trigger warnings are necessary to protect vast numbers of victims from being re-traumatized. However, research shows that the majority of trauma-exposed persons do not develop PTSD. This does not mean they aren’t affected by trauma, but that they do not develop clinically significant symptoms, distress, or impairment in daily functioning. The notion that trigger warnings should be generalized to all social media sites, online journals, and discussion boards is erroneous. Now some students are pushing for trigger warnings on college class syllabi and reading lists.
But what?
Balderdash!
But wait, before people get all riled up, I’d like to say that yes, I have experienced trauma in my life.
I wore a skirt the first time George hit me. I know this because I remember scrunching my skirt around my waist and balancing in heels while I squatted over a hole in the concrete floor to take a piss. We were in Tijuana. The stench of excrement made my stomach queasy with too much tequila. I wanted to retch.
We returned to our hotel room. I slid out of my blouse and skirt. He stripped to nothing and lay on the double bed. He was drinking Rompope from the bottle, a kind of Mexican eggnog: strong, sweet, and marketed for its excellent spunk. It’s a thick yellow rum concoction with eggs, sugar, and almond side notes. George wanted to have sex. We bickered and argued as drunks sometimes do. I said something — I know this because I always said something — and he hit me. He grabbed me by the hair and hit me again. “We’re going dancing,” he said.
“I don’t feel like dancing — “
“Fine. Stay.”
The world was tilting at an angle I didn’t recognize. The mathematician Matt Tweed writes that atoms are made up of almost completely empty space. To grasp the vast nothingness, he asks the reader to imagine a cat twirling a bumblebee on the end of a half-mile long string. That’s how much emptiness there is between the nucleus and the electron. There was more space than that between George and me. I remember thinking: I am in a foreign country. I don’t speak Spanish. I have no money. We went dancing.
Labeling a topic or theme is useless because of the way our brains work. The labels that we give trauma (assault, sexual abuse, rape) are not the primary source of triggers. Memories are, and not just memories, but very specific, insidious, and personally individualized details lodged in our brain at the time of the trauma encoded as memory. Details can include faces, places, sounds, smells, tastes, voices, body positions, time of day, or any other sensate qualities that were present during a traumatic incident.
If I see a particular shade of yellow or smell a sickly sweet rum drink, I’m reminded of my head being yanked by someone who held a handful of my hair in his fist. A forest green Plymouth Duster (the car we drove) will too. The word assault does not. The words domestic violence don’t either. The specificity of details seared in my mind invokes memory.
Last year a driver slammed into the back of my car on the freeway. The word tailgate is not a trigger. Nor is the word accident. The flash of another car suddenly encroaching in my rearview mirror is. In my mid-20s, I drove my younger sister (sobbing, wrapped in a bed sheet) to the hospital where two male officers explained they were going to pluck her pubic hair for a rape kit. When I see tweezers in a hospital, I flash back to that awful moment. For my sister, other things may be triggers: the moonlight shining on the edge of a knife. The shadow of a person back lit in a doorway. An Hispanic man’s accent. If we were going to insist on trigger warnings that work, they would need to look something like this:
Trigger warning: Rompope.
Trigger warning: a woman wrapped in a bed sheet.
Trigger warning: the blade of a knife.
The variability of human #perception and traumatic recall makes it impossible to provide the necessary specificity for trigger warnings to be effective. The nature of specificity is, in part, one reason that treatment for traumatic memories involves safely re-engaging with the images that populate the survivor’s memory of the event. According to Dr. Mark Beuger, an addiction psychiatrist at Deerfield Behavioral Health of Warren (PA), the goal of PTSD treatment is “to allow for processing of the traumatic experience without becoming so emotional that processing is impossible.” By creating a coherent narrative of the past event through telling and retelling the story to a clinician, survivors confront their fears and gain mastery over their thoughts and feelings.
If a survivor has had adequate clinical support, they could engage online with thoughts or ideas that previously had been avoided.
According to the National Center for Health, “#Avoidance is a maladaptive #control_strategy… resulting in maintenance of perceived current threat. In line with this, trauma-focused treatments stress the role of avoidance in the maintenance of PTSD. Prolonged exposure to safe but anxiety-provoking trauma-related stimuli is considered a treatment of choice for PTSD.” Avoidance involves distancing oneself from cues, reminders, or situations that remind one of the event that can result in increased #social_withdrawal. Trigger warnings increase social withdrawal, which contributes to feelings of #isolation. If a survivor who suffers from PTSD has had adequate clinical support, they could engage online with thoughts or ideas that previously had been avoided. The individual is in charge of each word he or she reads. At any time, one may close a book or click a screen shut on the computer. What is safer than that? Conversely, trigger warnings perpetuate avoidance. Because the intrusive memories and thoughts are internal, trigger warnings suggest, “Wait! Don’t go here. I need to protect you from yourself.”
The argument that trigger warnings help to protect those who have suffered trauma is false. Most people who have experienced trauma do not require preemptive protection. Some may argue that it would be kind to avoid causing others distress with upsetting language and images. But is it? Doesn’t it sometimes take facing the horrific images encountered in trauma to effect change in ourselves and in the world?
A few weeks ago, I came across a video about Boko Haram’s treatment of a kidnapped schoolgirl. The girl was blindfolded. A man was digging a hole in dry soil. It quickly became evident, as he ushered the girl into the hole, that this would not end well. I felt anxious as several men began shoveling soil in around her while she spoke to them in a language I could not understand. I considered clicking away as my unease and horror grew. But I also felt compelled to know what happened to this girl. In the 11-minute video, she is buried up to her neck.
All the while, she speaks to her captors, who eventually move out of the frame of the scene. Rocks begin pelting the girl’s head. One after the other strikes her as I stared, horrified, until finally, her head lay motionless at an angle that could only imply death. That video (now confirmed to be a stoning in Somalia rather than by Boko Haram) forever changed my level of concern about young girls kidnapped in other countries.
We are changed by what we #witness. Had the video contained a trigger warning about gruesome death, I would not have watched it. Weeks later, I would have been spared the rush of feelings I felt when a friend posted a photo of her daughter playfully buried by her brothers in the sand. I would have been spared knowing such horrors occur. But would the world be a better place for my not knowing? Knowledge helps us prioritize our responsibilities in the world. Don’t we want engaged, knowledgeable citizens striving for a better world?
Recently, the idea of trigger warnings has leapt the gulch between social media and academic settings. #Universities are dabbling with #policies that encourage professors to provide trigger warnings for their classes because of #complaints filed by students. Isn’t the syllabus warning enough? Can’t individual students be responsible for researching the class content and reading #materials before they enroll? One of the benefits of broad exposure to literature and art in education is Theory of Mind, the idea that human beings have the capacity to recognize and understand that other people have thoughts and desires that are different from one’s own. Do we want #higher_education to comprise solely literature and ideas that feel safe to everyone? Could we even agree on what that would be?
Art occurs at the intersection of experience and danger. It can be risky, subversive, and offensive. Literature encompasses ideas both repugnant and redemptive. News about very difficult subjects is worth sharing. As writers, don’t we want our readers to have the space to respond authentically to the story? As human beings, don’t we want others to understand that we can empathize without sharing the same points of view?
Trigger warnings fail to warn us of the very things that might cause us to remember our trauma. They insulate. They cause isolation. A trigger warning says, “Be careful. This might be too much for you.” It says, “I don’t trust you can handle it.” As a reader, that’s not a message I want to encounter. As a writer, that is not the message I want to convey.
Trigger warnings?
Poppycock.

Essay on why a professor is adding a trigger warning to his #syllabus
Trigger warnings in the classroom have been the subject of tremendous #debate in recent weeks, but it’s striking how little the discussion has contemplated what actual trigger warnings in actual classrooms might plausibly look like.
The debate began with demands for trigger warnings by student governments with no power to compel them and suggestions by #administrators (made and retracted) that #faculty consider them. From there the ball was picked up mostly by observers outside higher ed who presented various #arguments for and against, and by professors who repudiated the whole idea.
What we haven’t heard much of so far are the voices of professors who are sympathetic to the idea of such warnings talking about what they might look like and how they might operate.
As it turns out, I’m one of those professors, and I think that discussion is long overdue. I teach history at Hostos Community College of the City University of New York, and starting this summer I’m going to be including a trigger warning in my syllabus.
I’d like to say a few things about why.
An Alternative Point of View
To start off, I think it’s important to be clear about what trigger warnings are, and what purpose they’re intended to serve. Such warnings are often framed — and not just by critics — as a “you may not want to read this” notice, one that’s directed specifically at survivors of trauma. But their actual #purpose is considerably broader.
Part of the confusion arises from the word “trigger” itself. Originating in the psychological literature, the #term can be misleading in a #non-clinical context, and indeed many people who favor such warnings prefer to call them “#content_warnings” for that reason. It’s not just trauma survivors who may be distracted or derailed by shocking or troubling material, after all. It’s any of us, and a significant part of the distraction comes not from the material itself but from the context in which it’s presented.
In the original cut of the 1933 version of the film “King Kong,” there was a scene (depicting an attack by a giant spider) that was so graphic that the director removed it before release. He took it out, it’s said, not because of concerns about excessive violence, but because the intensity of the scene ruined the movie — once you saw the sailors get eaten by the spider, the rest of the film passed by you in a haze.
A similar concern provides a big part of the impetus for content warnings. These warnings prepare the reader for what’s coming, so their #attention isn’t hijacked when it arrives. Even a pleasant surprise can be #distracting, and if the surprise is unpleasant the distraction will be that much more severe.
I write quite a bit online, and I hardly ever use content warnings myself. I respect the impulse to provide them, but in my experience a well-written title and lead paragraph can usually do the job more effectively and less obtrusively.
A classroom environment is different, though, for a few reasons. First, it’s a shared space — for the 75 minutes of the class session and the 15 weeks of the semester, we’re pretty much all #stuck with one another, and that fact imposes #interpersonal_obligations on us that don’t exist between writer and reader. Second, it’s an interactive space — it’s a #conversation, not a monologue, and I have a #responsibility to encourage that conversation as best I can. Finally, it’s an unpredictable space — a lot of my students have never previously encountered some of the material we cover in my classes, or haven’t encountered it in the way it’s taught at the college level, and don’t have any clear sense of what to expect.
For all these reasons, I’ve concluded that it would be sound #pedagogy for me to give my students notice about some of the #challenging_material we’ll be covering in class — material relating to racial and sexual oppression, for instance, and to ethnic and religious conflict — as well as some information about their rights and responsibilities in responding to it. Starting with the summer semester, as a result, I’ll be discussing these issues during the first class meeting and including a notice about them in the syllabus.
My current draft of that notice reads as follows:
Course Content Note
At times this semester we will be discussing historical events that may be disturbing, even traumatizing, to some students. If you ever feel the need to step outside during one of these discussions, either for a short time or for the rest of the class session, you may always do so without academic penalty. (You will, however, be responsible for any material you miss. If you do leave the room for a significant time, please make arrangements to get notes from another student or see me individually.)
If you ever wish to discuss your personal reactions to this material, either with the class or with me afterwards, I welcome such discussion as an appropriate part of our coursework.
That’s it. That’s my content warning. That’s all it is.
I should say as well that nothing in these two paragraphs represents a change in my teaching practice. I have always assumed that if a student steps out of the classroom they’ve got a good reason, and I don’t keep tabs on them when they do. If a student is made uncomfortable by something that happens in class, I’m always glad when they come talk to me about it — I’ve found we usually both learn something from such exchanges. And of course students are still responsible for mastering all the course material, just as they’ve always been.
So why the note, if everything in it reflects the rules of my classroom as they’ve always existed? Because, again, it’s my job as a professor to facilitate class discussion.
A few years ago one of my students came to talk to me after class, distraught. She was a student teacher in a New York City junior high school, working with a social studies teacher. The teacher was white, and almost all of his students were, like my student, black. That week, she said, one of the classes had arrived at the point in the semester given over to the discussion of slavery, and at the start of the class the teacher had gotten up, buried his nose in his notes, and started into the lecture without any introduction. The students were visibly upset by what they were hearing, but the teacher just kept going until the end of the period, at which point he finished the lecture, put down his papers, and sent them on to math class.
My student was appalled. She liked these kids, and she could see that they were hurting. They were angry, they were confused, and they had been given nothing to do with their #emotions. She asked me for advice, and I had very little to offer, but I left our meeting thinking that it would have been better for the teacher to have skipped that material entirely than to have taught it the way he did.
History is often ugly. History is often troubling. History is often heartbreaking. As a professor, I have an #obligation to my students to raise those difficult subjects, but I also have an obligation to raise them in a way that provokes a productive reckoning with the material.
And that reckoning can only take place if my students know that I understand that this material is not merely academic, that they are coming to it as whole people with a wide range of experiences, and that the journey we’re going on #together may at times be #painful.
It’s not coddling them to acknowledge that. In fact, it’s just the opposite.

Mouchards dans la rue 2014 Des « capteurs sonores » (qu’on pourrait appeler tout simplement « micros ») sont présents à Strasbourg depuis 2014. Ils ont été installés dans le cadre d’une mission “Bruits et nuisances sonores” qui a notamment pour objectif de quantifier les “nuisance sonores”. On peut lire dans le compte-rendu du conseil municipal de 2015 : « En complément de ces actions ont été mis en place l’an dernier, à titre expérimental, des capteurs sonores couplés à des caméras de vidéoprotection sur (...)

Original : un article contre la #surveillance de masse (et la #vidéo_surveillance et la #reconnaissance_faciale) écrit d’un point de vue de droite. À une époque où la droite traditionnelle encense le modèle chinois de surveillance, ça change.
▻https://www.lefigaro.fr/vox/societe/les-gens-honnetes-n-ont-rien-a-se-reprocher-l-argument-pernicieux-des-adept
L’argument avancé par les fatalistes de la surveillance est toujours le même : « les gens honnêtes n’ont rien à se reprocher ». Comme le soulignait Edward Snowden, dans une interview donnée à la télévision américaine, dire « la surveillance n’est pas utilisée contre la #liberté des citoyens normaux » est exactement aussi rassurant que de dire « je te mets un revolver sur la tempe, mais je te jure que je ne tirerai pas ». Dans le monde de l’hypersurveillance, un tyran aura à sa disposition tous les outils pour se saisir du pouvoir absolu sur nos existences. Mais cela n’est peut-être même pas cela le plus grave.
Une société sans vie privée est semblable à ces prisons sans fenêtre où la lumière ne s’éteint jamais et où le prisonnier finit par perdre le sens de l’écoulement des jours, enfermé dans une sorte de présent éternel. Tout y sera propre. Au cordeau. Chaque détenu sera rangé comme il faut dans sa case. Chaque action contrôlée, tout déplacement suivi. La vraie privation de liberté n’est pas tant de devoir rester entre les murs de la centrale pénitentiaire que d’être entièrement à la merci du contrôle permanent, contraint de tout montrer. La vraie peine, c’est la transparence. L’#intimité inexistante.
Je pense de plus en plus que la vraie peine de prison n’est pas la privation de liberté, mais bien l’#arbitraire qui s’exerce sans freins sur les corps incarcérés.
D’ailleurs, on ne fait pas peur à un prévenu avec la seule prison, mais bien avec ce qui arrivera à son corps dans cet espace de nom-droit : la menace même pas voilée du #viol institutionnalisé.

Citoyens et consommateurs dévisagés pour garantir leur « bien-être »

Une start-up de Metz, Two-I, rencontre un succès rapide en développant des solutions d’analyse des images de #caméras de surveillance, qui permettent non seulement de compter les passants, mais de décrypter en temps réel leur sexe, leur âge et les émotions exprimées par leur visage. Son credo : s’imposer comme un « outil de la #smart_city » en fournissant une mesure objective du « bien-être » pour guider la gestion de la ville.
Les métropoles de #Metz, de #Nancy, de Nice et quelques autres se sont déjà laissé convaincre, comme plusieurs gestionnaires de stades. Depuis cet automne, la société signe également des contrats à Dubaï, où ses technologies pourraient être mises à profit par le « ministère du bonheur » créé par les Emirats arabes unis pour garantir le « bien-être social » et la « positivité ».
L’analyse des émotions permet aussi d’évaluer « l’expérience client » dans un centre commercial, ou le ressenti face à une #publicité. « Nous avons de grosses commandes à #Dubaï liées à l’affichage publicitaire », indique M. Trombini. Grâce aux caméras intégrées aux écrans, les annonceurs savent si leur message est bien vu par le public voulu ou s’il rate sa cible, et comment il est perçu.
Après une première levée de fonds de 250 000 euros lors de la création de la #start_up, en juillet 2017, la société, qui compte désormais quatorze collaborateurs, a réuni un million d’euros supplémentaires en mai. « On fera peut-être encore un tour de table, mais notre objectif est d’atteindre la rentabilité en 2019. On entre en phase d’industrialisation », indique Julien Trombini.
Comment des villes « hyper connectées » contrôlent l’espace public

De Nice à Valenciennes (Nord), de Marseille à la Défense ou à Nîmes, de plus en plus de collectivités se laissent tenter par des plates-formes numériques organisées autour des outils de surveillance et de contrôle de l’espace public.
Un mouvement de fond, en phase avec de puissants intérêts industriels et porté par des subventions publiques, qui prospère dans un certain flou juridique et inquiète les associations de défense des libertés publiques. Construits autour d’une vidéoprotection dernier cri, dopée à l’intelligence artificielle, aux algorithmes et au « big data », ces dispositifs ont l’avantage de rendre bien concret l’un des rêves fondateurs de la smart city : la gestion centralisée de la ville depuis un poste unique de commandement.
C’est le début d’une révolution : la fibre optique et les technologies numériques permettent l’interopérabilité de tous les systèmes, une interconnexion des différents métiers de la ville, qui fonctionnaient jusque-là en silos : l’éclairage public, la mobilité et le stationnement, la sécurité, les parcs et jardins, les réseaux d’eau ou d’énergie… « Le même matériel permet d’imbriquer la sécurité avec d’autres enjeux et d’autres fonctions. En mutualisant les équipements, nous multiplions les services, que ce soit dans la gestion quotidienne, pour les grands événements ou en cas de crise », explique Nathalie Allegret, directrice du marché Villes et territoires connectés chez Engie Ineo, l’un des poids lourds du secteur.

Le 14 décembre dernier, le Conseil Régional de #PACA a voté une mesure visant à faire installer, à partir de 2019, des dispositifs de #reconnaissance_faciale à l’entrée de deux #lycées de Nice et de Marseille. Dès le mois d’octobre, La #Quadrature_du_Net avait demandé à la CNIL la communication des documents en sa possession sur ce dossier, cette dernière ayant été consultée par la région pour la mise en place de ces dispositifs. L’analyse de ces documents, ainsi que les précisions apportées par Christian Estrosi, confirment l’impuissance de la CNIL à enrayer la banalisation d’une technologie particulièrement liberticide et qui vise ici à s’étendre à l’ensemble des établissements scolaires de la région.
De quoi s’agit-il ? En octobre 2017, Renaud Muselier, président de la région PACA, demande les conseils de la CNIL pour la mise en place dans deux lycées de Nice et de Marseille de dispositifs de « portiques virtuels » associant « des moyens classiques d’identification (…) à un dispositif biométrique utilisant des technologies de comparaison faciale, seuls à même d’après nos premières investigations, d’apporter une solution fiable et rapide dans un contexte de contrôle d’accès portant sur un nombre potentiellement élevé de personnes ». Cette nouvelle étape est la suite logique de sa politique sécuritaire ayant conduit, entre 2016 et 2017, à ce que plus de 1 300 caméras de vidéosurveillance soient installées dans l’ensemble des lycées de la région. La technologisation à outrance est également présentée par la région comme une réponse au contexte d’austérité budgétaire :

Jon Hendricks, poète vocaliste du jazz, est mort

Dans le génial Underground, de Monk, il enregistre In Walked Bud. Ils viennent de tout écrire en sept minutes, sans rien trahir, avec des mots plausibles, justes, amoureux, pour Bud Powell. Toutes les avant-gardes poético–rythmiques du siècle eussent dû s’incliner et s’inspirer. Raté. Elles ignorent son nom.
Avec son art des mots, du sens et du non–sense que saura si bien reprendre Mimi Perrin (Les Double Six), Jon Hendricks signe en style d’apothéose, la fin du scat (la langue des musiciens) si facile, aujourd’hui où tout le monde s’y essaie, à mimer mal. Génie sans précédent de la virtuosité verbale et vocale, Jon ne manque pas de successeurs. Toujours disponible, il invite à ses côtés Al Jarreau, Bobby McFerrin, Kurt Elling ou Mark Murphy, le Manhattan Transfer comme André Minvielle.
Très belle vidéo, avec un art du scat à trois... tiens, Le Monde, c’est bizarre, on n’arrivera jamais à savoir qui est la femme qui chante avec Dédé Minvielle et Jon Hendricks... et pourtant, elle chante sacrément bien. Ah oui, j’oubliais, c’est simplement unE musicienNE... mais gaffe Le Monde, bientôt les métiers vont aussi se féminiser, en tout cas l’Académie y travaille. Bref, ça m’énerve...
D’après les présentations, à la fin, il s’agit de Michele Hendricks, fille de Jon. Mais le générique prétend qu’il s’agit d’Aria Hendricks, autre fille de Jon !
Voui j’étais tombé sur cette vidéo il y a quelques mois déjà, je ne sais plus, je suivais des vidéos de Minvielle je crois (qui parle souvent de Hendricks), et j’avais vu que c’était une de ses filles (mais sans savoir laquelle)…

Toulouse : des policiers tabassent un homme menotté sous l’oeil d’une caméra de surveillance
▻http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/occitanie/haute-garonne/toulouse/toulouse-policiers-tabassent-homme-menotte-oeil-camera-
L’homme a été interpellé par des policiers surveillant le métro à la suite d’un contrôle d’identité. Les agents, composés de deux adjoints de sécurité et de deux policiers de la Police nationale, soupçonnaient l’individu de se prêter à un trafic de stupéfiants. Lors de son interpellation, mouvementée, l’homme est menotté puis conduit dans un local de sécurité.
Une fois dans ce local, selon nos informations, les deux adjoints de sécurité tabassent l’individu toujours menotté. À l’écart, les deux policiers titulaires ne réagissent pas jusqu’à ce que l’un d’eux voit la présence d’une caméra de surveillance. Les images ont ensuite été consultées par la hiérarchie qui a donc fait un signalement auprès du procureur de la République. Il a décidé de saisir l’IGPN.

Expulser. #Expulser du territoire un nombre plus important d’étrangers, ou expulser du droit commun des #mineurs parce qu’étrangers. France, Royaume-uni, Union européenne, les politiques s’additionnent et se renforcent, et semblent ne pouvoir qu’aller encore plus fort dans la même direction. Comme pendant et comme voile de l’impuissance organisée des États à agir dans les domaines – économie, social – hors de leurs fonctions régaliennes – armée, police, justice ou ce qu’en laisse l’érosion de l’État de droit. Mais cette Europe qui se rend indésirable au monde a-t-elle un avenir ? Ou avons-nous un autre avenir qu’entrer en résistance ?

Une affaire voisine.
La présidente du tribunal a rappelé que « l’aide au séjour d’un étranger pour lui assurer des conditions dignes et décentes ou visant à préserver son “intégrité physique n’est pas pénalement punissable” », rapporte Nice Matin, et qu’étant donné l’état de santé des femmes, « il ne serait ni juste ni proportionné » de condamner M. Mannoni. La loi prévoit, depuis 2012, l’immunité pour les passeurs qui ne sont pas rétribués et qui agissent si la vie des personnes recueillies est jugée en péril.

En revanche je me demande quel est l’à propos de publier tant et tant de photographies d’excellente qualité par ailleurs dans lesquels les visages de toutes ces personnes sont parfaitement identifiables. En fait je trouve cela incroyablement con et naïf. Ils ont désormais tous une étiquette de réfugiés en situation de précarité et sans doute d’illégalité (attention je n’ai pas dit illégitimité) auprès des services compétents. C’est bien beau d’avoir une conscience politique et de faire de belles images (pour le coup elles sont vraiment belles), mais ne pas songer à ce bête problème d’identification archivable, en 2017, comment dire ?
Il y a deux mois nous avons distribué une trentaine d’appareils #photos jetables sur les camps de Stalingrad et dans des centres d’hébergement à autant des #migrants volontaires.
Le but de la démarche était simple : laisser les principaux concernés s’exprimer par eux-mêmes sur leurs conditions de vie, laisser place à leur créativité, leurs discours, leurs rêves parfois.
Nous avons récolté les appareils quelques semaines plus tard et fait développer les photos de Ahmed A.A, Ahmed M.A, Bachir C, Bilal F.S et Souraj F.A. C’est à partir de cette matière que nous organisons une exposition le 18 décembre 2016. Les photographies seront en vente dès cette date au profit de l’association et des #photographes.

à l’heure de la #vidéo_surveillance, je ne pense pas que les services compétents attendent ce genre d’expo pour faire leur sale boulot.
Je ne suis pas assez naïf pour croire que la sale besogne n’est pas faite de toute manière, en revanche je m’interroge sur la possibilité que cette collaboration involontaire rende la sale besogne plus efficace en venant parfois combler des vides de données dans le travail des services de police. Je crois qu’il y a temps pour tout, il y a celui des bons sentiments, il y a dix huit mois ce temps était encore possible quand le gouvernement a, soit vacillé, soit fait semblant de vaciller, et puis il y a celui de la méfiance absolue. Nous sommes de plain-pied dans ce temps-là.
