My Little Piece of Privacy by Niklas Roy uses a surveillance camera and an old PC to position a small curtain in just the right spot to prevent passers by looking into his studio.
“The whole setup works really well. But in the end, it doesn’t protect my privacy at all. It seems that the existence of my little curtain is leading itself ad absurdum, simply by doing its job very well. My moving curtain attracts the looks of people which usually would never care about my window. It is even the star of the street, now! My curtain is just engaged. And because of that, it fails.”
