this kind of surveillance is childish and a bit creepy too
These people are elected and paid more than enough to pay attention. If they can’t be bothered doing their job, we’ll elect someone else who can.

#12This is useless, if you don't know what they're doing on their phones. Fact checking the speaker? Playing candy crush? Who knows.
Nope it's useful.
Those people need to feel some kind of pressure and invasive monitoring. Because they're the ones who vote to allow it or not.

#13Fun, but also kind of a dick move to apply bossware to more people; the phone is where the real politics happens.
No, if anything, all that stuff regular people are subjected to, must be now be used against people in power just to let them feel the weight of reality they have created. It is not that dissimilar to how Musk flights were tracked by a bot on Twitter not that long ago. Is it a dick move? Sure, but I am tired of there being two set of rules for those with power and those without it.

Can you elaborate on how this project is going to impact that? What change do you expect will come about from it?

#15I mean if it wasn't the 21st century, they would be having a snooze or reading a newspaper or magazine probably.
Having a politican 100% committed and listening all the time would be great, but they would quit in no time I'm sure, at least I would.

they do 10x worse on the general population.
Politicians, especially the high ranking ones, should have 100% transparent lives and be monitorised by independent organisation at all times, as they work for the benefit of the public

#17This seems to be an art installation, but I see no explanation of what it means. Is there subtext that's obvious to someone from Belgium (e.g., politicians on phones is a known hot issue)? Or is the viewer supposed to interpret?
BTW, if the main complaint that you have about your politicians is that they sometimes look at their phones while in meetings, you're doing really well, count your blessings.

#18Living in a country that doesn't speak my first language, I use the dictionary all the time during meetings and presentations. I hate it when people tell me that’s rude.. Okay I'll just sit here and not understand what was said to keep up appearances?

#20He (oh he is you, OP) has got a lot of different projects, including one that was tracking people on EarthCam streams and trying to find their Instagram post (or the other way around): https://driesdepoorter.be/thefollower/ , which went sort of viral: https://mashable.com/article/instagram-stalking-ai-facial-re... I wonder why you self-promote and repost your "old" stuff though..
Yea kind of odd when the last post by which the submission about is from 2022 when it appears to be last active.
If there was some update, revelation, or even just being active.
I am seeing this person being referred as an "artist".
Thinking its a ploy for sales... they arent really selling anything i would consider valuable or sellable (eye of the beholder?).
