Phase 3 Metaspeculation
- I have nothing to hide -
From the previous observation on the topic of hyper security control, Singapore is under the surveillance state that control by the government in a positive manner. To speculative from this topic, the propose narrative is focus on the key statement, "I have nothing to hide." which said by many Singaporean when asking how do they feel to being watched all the time.
“In a city where everyone is happy and transparent! Singapore is listed
as World’s most transparent city that everyone has a contribution to the online
society to keep the city safe to improve quality of people’s life to another
level...”
In the year 2037, Singapore has achieved to be the city where everyone is pride for being transparent. The change in value has occurred. Everyone give more priority for being open and transparent over personal privacy in which being opaque is considered as a threat to the society. Government encourage people to share every single moment in their life with one another on the online platform that any person has access to the information at any time. The more contribution you made online will be recognized by public as being an explicit citizen, and the authority will rank you base on how much contribution you make online. The higher in rank you are the higher priority you are going to get.
The city are organized in a way to minimizing the blindspot to decrease the risk of being opaque. In term or housing unit, the higher in rank you are, the more spacious and open of a space you will get. Lower rank would have the space that less transparent with facade or partition that would reduce the vision to observe what is going on around us.
To reduce the blindspot, architecture need to organized in a certain way to make sure that each housing unit has an access to another units. In this case, I propose the to organize the space by this conceptual diagram where the housing unit will be organized base on the hexagon grid at the intersection to form the ring around the watcher data center.
Narrative Document:
To explore the tranparent lifestyle, I decided to compare how we do it nowaday and how we might do it in an extreme way to stream our lives 24/7.
