Philip E. Agre is a former associate professor of information studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. His new media writing includes the essay, Surveillance and Capture. He was the publisher of The Red Rock Eater News Service (RRE), an influential mailing list he started in the mid-1990s that ran for around a decade. A mix of news, Internet policy and politics, RRE served as a model for many of today's political blogs and online newsletters.[1] Agre went missing on October 16, 2009, but was found in good health on January 16, 2010.[2][3] Contents 1 Surveillance and Capture 1.1 Background 2 Disappearance 3 External links 4 References // Surveillance and Capture Background Agre's essay Surveillance and Capture deals with privacy and surveillance issues made possible by our constantly evolving technological age. Influential works preceding this essay include George Orwell's 1984, Hans Magnus Enzensberger's Constituents of a Theory of the Media, and Michel Foucault's works surrounding the concept of panopticism[4]. Enzensberger dismisses Orwell's vision of total surveillance as fantasy, claiming that the technological systems required would be impractical and, of necessity, "become the largest branch of industry in its society[5]." Foucault, however, challenges this impracticality claim with his notion of panopticism. Panopticism derives its name from the panopticon, a thought experiment about prison design conceived by Jeremy Bentham (before the advent of electronic surveillance systems). In essence, a panopticon consists of a central guard tower able to see every prison cell (aided by backlights), while no inmates are able to see within the tower[4]. What results is a permanent, psychologically-ingrained power structure in which inmates are forced to monitor themselves, accepting the possibility that they may be watched at all times. Foucault argues that a constant exercise of such surveillance is not necessary, since its mere possibility induces self-restrained action among the inmates[4]. This surveillance model of privacy, present in Foucault's work, has been the dominant model for most discourse about privacy in the new media field[4]. It fails, however, to fully address certain aspects of the technical elements of new media, including ways in which computers can provide effective privacy-enhancing technologies. In Surveillance and Capture, Agre presents the capture model, drawn from an awareness of the current methods of computer design. Just as the inmates of the panopticon internalize their surveillance and alter their behavior accordingly, so too do parties on the internet, knowing the possibilities of electronic information retrieval[4]. Disappearance On October 16, 2009, a missing persons report was filed for Philip Agre[6]. The report was filed by Agre's sister who indicated that she had not seen him since the Spring of 2008 and became concerned when she learned that he had abandoned his apartment and job sometime between December 2008 and May 2009[7]. The notice indicated that Agre is, "a White Male, 49 years old, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He sometimes wears a full beard. He is 6'0" tall and 120 lbs. Agre suffers from manic/depression. Agre is a former UCLA Professor[7]." According to the updated UCLA-issued report, Agre was found by the LA County Sheriff's Department on January 16, 2010, and was deemed in good health and self-sufficient[3].
