This is to be an (rhetorical) helmet to survive in these days' surveillance camera saturated cityscape.
Realizing thesedays' privacy as virtually non-existant drove me to focus on the history of panopticon, which had been (and still have been in some practices) used to effectively watch and control inmates in prisons.
At the same time, one's identity is easily stolen while whom being watched is not aware of it and I was to steal a person's face I talk to.
With mirror tinted plexi with camera and a monitor inside, I can see through while people can't. Also when I pick up a conversation, they are actually talking to (the mirror image of) themselves.
