Big Brother you Panoptic swine.

An obvious example of something in contemporary culture that is panoptic is the reality television series, Big Brother. 

The basis for the program being, to put random people into a house for 3 months under 24 hour surveillance in which it is broadcasted nearly every minute of the day to the public on national television, as each week goes by someone is booted out of the house prior to nominations and then a public vote.

This making it overwhelmingly clear to the housemates that they are always being watched. Not only by the people behind the scenes but by a large amount of the public. 

As the house is covered in cameras there are no nooks or crannys in which the housemates can escape from the watching viewers.(insert quote about open plan layouts)   

This creates housemates to self regulate themselves and their personalities. However due to  the nature of the show and the media today, this can cause for the housemates to act up to the cameras, as they know they are being watched all the time, they must act all the time. 

Referring this to Graphic Design, big brother has a very recognised brand image, the 'all-seeing' eye that has a slightly different design each season.
