This reminds me of the old YouTube art project "Surveillance Camera Man". Since taken off YouTube, but you can still find mirrors.

Re: Sousveillance
#32I have been looking for a lifeloging camera for a while. But i can't find anything that is discrete enogh. The n"arative clip" looked discrete. But it is of the market. Just want something that takes picture every 20 min's or so. So that i can review/analyze some of my daily behaviors in hindsight.
Have you perhaps considered that recording people unobtrusively without their consent may be unethical or, at the minimum, rude?
If you are in public, you have no right to privacy. Anyone can record you. You don't have to be overtly recording all of your interactions but there is nothing unethical about recording everything you see in public.

And depending on where you are in the world: illegal.
At least in the US, you can record anything you want in public. There are some limits for things you see on private property from a public area (like using a telephoto lens for snapping pics of someone's bedroom) but if someone is in public, they have no right to privacy.

That's (fortunately) not the case everywhere: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Country_specific_...

194 out of 195 countries in the world aren't the United States of America and 7.4 billion people out of 7.7 billion live outside of the US.

For me the interesting philosophical question is how different is it to see things with out eyes and remember them vs. recording with a device? For the most part, the fidelity and the transmittability are the main issues. If, hypothetically, someone invented a system that would allow a computer to adaptively display images to a human and accept semi-conscious feedback with the intent of reconstructing a relatively high-fidelity image from human memory, would such a system be illegal or equivalent to using a recording device?
Similarly, would it be possible to reduce the fidelity or persistence of the recording device to the point where it wouldn't violate any ethical or social conventions? Some sort of "bad camera" that deliberately produces abstract representations of what is photographed or downsamples in such a way that forging the images becomes so easy that nobody would accept this sort of evidence in a court of law or even in more casual circumstances?

I have, and it is not that I want to view other people it is that I want to see what I do. Our brains are not good at saving the type of mondane day to day activitys that make up most of our days.
It is for my own consumption. So while I don't think it is unethical I am sure that some people will react negatively. Which is why is has to be discrete, also I don't want to think about the camera at all, that would negate it's purpose.
Its purpose is to give me objective information about my own life. Something that my brain can't serve me, it only gives subjective info.
There is also a diffrerance between video and audio and a snapshot every 20 minutes.
