A conversation with Adam Harvey Moderated by Liat Segal Artist, researcher, and privacy activist, Adam Harvey, will share insights from his scientific research and artistic work dealing with facial recognition algorithms and discuss the implications that current computer vision technologies have on military, governmental, and commercial surveillance. This talk will incorporate his works CV Dazzle, in which he designed camouflage from face detection and his latest art and research project, MegaPixels, focusing on face recognition image datasets, and investigating their ethics, origins, and implications on individual privacy, as well as their role in the expansion of biometric surveillance technologies. Harvey will explore new ways of appearing and disappearing in a machine-readable world including strategies for blocking detection and imaging technologies, and tools for advanced visual-metadata analysis.
