Looking at the filming of protest around the world, there are more cameras looking on and more media intervention than actual protesting and protestors much of the time - what does this say?

Add CCTV and other surveillance means i.e. News Corp International  and social networking media and you have to ask: does it risk us looking back at ourselves as our own constant B movie  - not at our actual selves in the physical reality of the moment but as a constant reinterpretaion of truth which market or political forces can equally exploit? This risks raising the profile of the human towards a constantly inhuman purpose - the possibility of social exclusion by participation: a paradox of our times.
