  ABSTRACT: In the digital age, individuals engage in the collection, dissemination, and exposure of information across online platforms. The pervasive nature of digital media has made accessing information more convenient, albeit at the cost of personal privacy. Users often grant various permissions when accessing websites, inadvertently making themselves subjects of surveillance in the process. However, the opacity surrounding the pathways and purposes of personal information propagation has intensified apprehensions about surveillance. In the realm of art, artistic interventions serve as a powerful means of expressing dissent against surveillance culture. These interventions raise awareness about the need to safeguard privacy, prompting individuals to become active participants in the social discourse surrounding surveillance culture. Nevertheless, the “counter-gaze” that emerges through artistic interventions may lead to a reversal of roles, where the “watchers” become the “watched”, contingent on varying layers of rights. In the digital age, the boundaries of surveillance are becoming increasingly blurred.
