In this article we use the natural lab of music festivals to examine behavioral change in response to the rapid introduction of smart surveillance technology into formerly unpoliced spaces. Festivals are liminal spaces, free from the governance of everyday social norms and regulations, permitting participants to assert a desired self. Due to a number of recent festival deaths, drug confiscations, pickpockets, and a terroristic mass shooting, festivals have quickly introduced smart security measures such as drones and facial recognition technologies. Such a rapid introduction contrasts with urban spaces where surveillance is introduced gradually and unnoticeably. In this article we use some findings from an online survey of festivalgoers to reveal explicit attitudes and experiences of surveillance. We found that surveillance is often discomforting because it changes experience of place, it diminishes feelings of safety, and bottom-up measures (health tents, being in contact with friends) are preferred to top-down surveillance. We also found marked variation between men, women, and nonbinary people’s feelings toward surveillance. Men were much less affected by surveillance. Women have very mixed views on surveillance; they simultaneously have greater safety concerns (especially sexual assault in public) and are keener on surveillance than men but also feel that it is ineffective in preventing assault (but might be useful in providing evidence subsequently). Our findings have significant ramifications for the efficacy of a one-size-fits-all solution of increased surveillance and security in smart places and cities and point to the need for more bottom-up safety measures. Key Words: anxiety, festivals, smart city, surveillance, well-being.

聪明的节日?城市智能空间中的安康与自由

在本文中,我们使用音乐节的自然实验室来研究行为改变,以应对将智能监视技术快速引入以前不受监管的空间的问题。节日是边缘空间,不受日常社会规范和法规的支配,使参与者能够表达理想的自我。由于最近节日中有许多人死亡,没收毒品,扒手和恐怖分子大规模枪击事件,节日迅速引入了智能安全措施,例如无人机和面部识别技术。如此迅速的引入与城市空间形成了鲜明的对比,在城市空间中,监视逐渐地被引入了。在本文中,我们将使用对节日游客的在线调查中的一些发现来揭示监视的明确态度和经验。我们发现监视常常令人不舒服,因为它改变了地点的体验,降低了安全感,自下而上的措施(健康帐篷,与朋友接触)比自上而下的监视更为可取。我们还发现,男人,女人和非二元人群对监视的感觉之间存在明显差异。男性受监视的影响要小得多。妇女们对监视的看法不一。他们同时具有更大的安全顾虑(尤其是在公共场所遭受性侵犯),并且比男性更愿意接受监视,但他们也认为这种方式在预防侵犯上是无效的(但可能在随后提供证据时很有用)。关键词:焦虑,节日,智慧城市,监视,幸福
