Abstract
This article aims to introduce the concepts of sousveillance and dataveillance, as well as reflect on the proposed forms of artivism to question and resist the surveillance society. In contemporary society, there is an inversely proportional relationship between privacy and technology. This is because complex online surveillance systems offer convenience and giving away personal data has become the currency for living in a connected world. In the midst of this situation, the article examines some works in the field of sousveillance art to understand how artists have positioned themselves in this context. The considerations proposed are based on the analysis of artworks and texts that address the concepts of
privacy and surveillance.
