A strange-looking screen in a shop front imitates movements of passing pedestrians. When someone walks by, they're tracked and data appears the screen. [User 632](http://undef.ch/?ref=protein.xyz#project/user632) is a brain child of interaction designers [Undef](http://undef.ch/?ref=protein.xyz), and is located in Basel, Switzerland.   
  
The designers installed three kinetic cameras on an ordinary street, tracking the people. The movements are translated on the screen, and represented as a wiggly line-displaying how long the device was observed for.  
  
But if one gets close enough, a photo is taken. The data is also stored alongside the image-time and path. It is then displayed as real-time stats.   
  
With the revelations surrounding the NSA's PRISM program being all over the front pages, it is no wonder that plenty of designers are making art inspired by the 24-surveilance and data tracking.
