Arbitor: We Build Solutions To Problems We Create
Smart glasses are mainstream, invisible and unregulated. In most countries, filming a stranger without consent has become normalised. The law simply has not caught up.
Arbitor is a speculative privacy company that sits between people and cameras. Automatically detecting nearby recording devices while actively censoring your face and giving you back control.
The motion video works as both an advertisement and an awareness piece. It sells a fictional product, then undermines it. Demonstrating how the tools we build often become part of the problem they were meant to solve.
No app or tool can fix a culture problem. Only people can.
