information is used for decision-making and analysis. To understand how surveillance is at play and how information is captured in digital media, it is
important to understand how information gathering and surveillance are intertwined and how they interact. This paper will outline a late-modern under‑
standing of information and surveillance in which the focus is on concrete technologies, organizations, and environments and local practices and local sites
and the networks between them (Latour, 2005), a breakdown of the modern separation between object and subject, and an understanding of surveillance
as production of new information through predictive analysis. From this perspective surveillance is a product of specific historical circumstances, media
constellations and understandings of information.
