I MISS WHEN PARANOIA TOOK EFFORT
There was a time when being paranoid meant notebooks, binoculars, bad coffee, taped-up photos, and a wall full of red string.
Now your phone does most of the work for you.
I Miss When Paranoia Took Effort is a sarcastic conspiracy design about how surveillance, tracking, data collection, facial recognition, location services, cameras, and constant connectivity have made old-school paranoia feel almost nostalgic. The investigator in the artwork is surrounded by evidence, tapes, photos, and clippings—while one giant smartphone quietly replaces the whole operation.
It’s part conspiracy humor, part privacy satire, and part tribute to the days when keeping tabs on somebody actually required leaving the house.
Perfect for conspiracy fans, privacy advocates, surveillance skeptics, tech cynics, old-school investigators, and anyone who looks at their phone permissions and thinks, “Well, that escalated.”
