Bigbro

Bigbro collapses two promises into one image: convenience and surveillance.

The friendly colors suggest access, speed, usefulness, and play. The eyes underneath say what the interface cannot say plainly. The watcher no longer arrives as a boot, a camera tower, or a uniformed officer. He arrives as a search bar, a login, a recommendation, a map, a cloud, a device you paid for yourself.

This artifact is about the soft merger of corporate convenience and political surveillance. Big Brother did not disappear. He got better branding.
