Through the Eyes of Surveillance Cameras | Wandelclub of the City Readers

In a time when everyone seems to be living in their own bubble, Wandelclub der Stadslezers challenges you to walk beyond your own perspective. Along the way, you read the city as a story: through the eyes of a dog, an eel, a security camera, or a street musician. Each walk offers a new view of life in the city. This tour is in English. Somebody is watching you

The city is watching. Always. But who is watching back? On this walk, you'll explore the city's hidden layer: cameras, sensors, and systems quietly recording life in public space. Mounted on buildings, streetlights, and intersections, they are often unnoticed — yet everywhere. You will learn to recognize them. From security cameras to smart traffic systems, from retail surveillance to municipal sensors. What do they see? Who controls them? And what does it mean to be constantly observed.

You're not just walking through the city, but through its infrastructure of observation. By looking more closely, what usually remains invisible begins to surface. Because public space is not neutral. It is measured, tracked, and interpreted. This walk invites you to question, to notice, and to reposition yourself within a city that is becoming ever more aware — and watchful. The city may not belong entirely to us. But we can learn to look back.
