Jeremy Bentham On-line! Bentham today

This is a picture of Jeremy's stuffed self, which was part of an early Web conceptual art project to put a web cam on the originator of the Panopticon. I suspect that this site is defunct, as the graphic file of Bentham showed a date of 1997 (last time it was there), so it either is no more, or was only conceptual art in the first place.   Can you find out what a Panopticon is, and why a webcam on Jeremy was/is such a great idea?
