BBA Austria 2006: Land of Peeping Toms
Every year a growing number of affiliate human rights groups present the Big Brother Awards to government agencies, private companies and individuals who have excelled in the violation of our privacy.
Following the founder and patron Privacy International who have assigned this mock award already in the UK and the U.S.A. a coalition of Austrian civil rights NGOs like quintessenz and VIBE!AT were the second who jumped up the conception to anually "name and shame" privacy abusers and were a driving force to enlarge the BBA internationally.
The 8th Austrian Big Brother Awards' variant of the BBA logo derived from the coat of arms and the motto "Land of Peeping Toms" referring to the national anthem lyrics criticizes the late but thorough penetration of CCTV in Austria.
It will be celebrated on the eve of national holiday on October 25 starting 20:00 in the Viennese Theater Rabenhof. A serious topic but always a great show with life acts such as maschek. and monochrom. The entry will be free.
