Roos Groothuizen is a media artist who cares about digital rights.

I’m currently researching smart doorbells, responsible tech, trust & horror. These “surveillance cameras” are quietly taking the Netherlands by storm. Viral videos of cute children, pets and delivery drivers are flooding the web. But does this mean we can finally trust the surveillance camera as our friend?

Expect an online publication on June 13th 2025, featuring dr. Laura op de Beke, dr. Dan Hassler-Forest, Dave Borghuis and Simoon Hermus. 

In the meantime, I’ve made a smart doorbell jumpscare kit. Email me if you’d like to receive some monsters.
