Abstract

The Latin American Network of Surveillance Technology and Society Studies (LAVITS) fosters the exchange of knowledge among researchers, artists and activists interested in reflect on and debate about the growing usage of surveillance and monitoring devices. The project proposes the dissemination of the studies, actions and technologies produced by this network, continuing the work previously developed with the support of the José Reis Scientific Journalism Program in 2011, 2014 and 2015. Latin America concentrates some of the most camera-watched cities of the world as São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City. Besides the monitoring of masses on control centers installed in an ever-increasing number of Latin American metropolitan areas, the private sector approaches point to the enhancement of surveillance capitalism that surpasses the national borders and step up into personal data using mechanisms of storage, tracking, and analysis of these information. In this context, the work of dissemination of the network's activities its focused on boost visibility of researches, debates and actions through the publishing of news and stories on the Comciência magazine's and OPlanoB websites just as on social media.
