From Sparta to DARPA, the market of tools of repression has remained a reliable outlet for technological development. However, recent history has shown that as the strength of these technologies has grown, the sustainability of this market has dwindled. Indicators show that in the very near future this market will no longer be able to bear the weight of the increasingly costly technologies that it requires. In response to this crisis, the IAA has identified the already emerging market of cultural insurrection as the most stable market in the years to come. IAA research has examined the primary behavior patterns of this market and is developing technologies that best serve the needs of the burgeoning market.

iSee is a web-based application charting the locations of closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance cameras in urban environments. With iSee, users can find routes that avoid these cameras - paths of least surveillance - allowing them to walk around their cities without fear of being "caught on tape" by unregulated security monitors.
