interest sensor the interest sensor is a component in the hebb system designed for the purpose of "discovering common interests" in work environments. the sensor works by searching through e-mail incessantly and ultimately sends contents of e-mail to publicly projected displays. we are shocked that technology pushers expect us to consume such an intrusive tool. our response to this affront on privacy is interest sensor, a downloadable client that scans your e-mail for interests that you may share with terrorist organizations. if interest sensor finds an interest you share with a terrorist organization, a summary of that interest is automatically e-mailed to Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge. your name and e-mail address will be included in the e-mail to help you begin a conversation with Mr. Ridge about your newfound shared interest.

stock display the stock display is a peripheral display that projects NASDAQ stock prices into everyday environments. the insidiousness of this project comes from its seeming mundaness -- the integration of such consumerist-centered information into the fabric of everyday infrastructure turns what should be a remarked-upon, debated entity into something assumed and easily habituated. the display is not much different from standard advertising in this way, except that it has the backing of a pseudo-scientific community (hci) as well as institutional support. usually, when studied in an academic environment, advertising effects on the human psyche are explored without bias -- ultimately the intent is to understand how the human brain adapts to different stimuli. in this case, though, academic and industrial communities have established a presumption of positive impact a priori. that is, studies of such displays are meant only to verify that these displays are good, contribute to Progress and thus, and most importantly, can be used to generate revenue. in response to this appalling technology, we present stock display. stock display does not obfuscate its goals, instead directly telling the viewer exactly which product to think about at any given moment. stock display then provides viewers an interface to make purchases of stock. if users do not make purchases, stock display becomes increasingly angrier, first admonishing users and finally launching DoS attacks upon machines on the network to which it is attached.
