Harun Farocki, Olhares de Vivilyncia. Controlling Observation. in: From Work to Text. Da Obra Ao Texto ed. by Jürgen Bock, Lisboa 2002 , p. 183-195

More than anything else, electronic control technology has a deconstraining effect. (Companies no longer have to be concentrated in one place; production units can produce different things.) Locations become less specific. An airport contains a shopping center, a shopping center contains a school, a school offers recreational facilities, et cetera. What are the consequences for prisons, themselves mirrors of society as well as counterimages and projections? (Harun Farocki)
