This project mimics the means by which Americans are on the one hand inculcated in a culture of fear and on the other sign off on policies that sacrifice their rights to privacy—protecting democratic processes in order to protect their self-image as participants in a democratic state. Modeled after the history and ideals of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Neighborhood Network Watch (NNW) is a fictitious community organization recruiting residents to spy on themselves and their neighbors in vigilant protection against suspected terrorists. The Web-based organization boastfully updates guerrilla tactics and counterinsurgent warfare techniques by using emergent technologies in strategic, if vague, new ways.
