Your face and the faces of your friends may be something intimately recognized by you. However, the complexities thereof are also known to social networks like Facebook and government agencies like the FBI, whose programs analyzed and mathematically categorize faces as they attempt to recognize and label people.
It is in protest to it that the artist Sterling Crispin created the Data-Masks project that using modern facial recognition program distilled the elements that use these programs to identify a face (distance between the eyes, nose mouth) and turn them into masks using 3D printing.
“It (the project) explains how the machine and alertness look human identity and makes visible aspects of this struggle invisible power “says Crispin on your website.
Example of face recognition system is Deepface Facebook . The system transforms photos into a 3D model and makes a numerical description of the faces. So you can identify if two or more photographs of the same person in 97.53% of cases.
This type of system, and those created by the FBI (called Next Generation Identification) or FacialNetwork. com, Sterlin concern.
“The implications of these programs have on our privacy, identity and the impact on our social interactions in the future is immense. They will suggest a world where we are always seen, observed and analyzed and new algorithms emerge quickly to rapidly increase the advantage of this data against us, “he said.
Despite this, Sterlin says its project Data-Masks is not a way to avoid this type of system, but a political protest demanding transparency regarding surveillance techniques used now. “These Data-Masks give shape to what would otherwise be an invisible network of control and identification and have its effect on our tangible and visible identities.
