Data-Masks
El artista multimedia e ingeniero Sterling Crispin, hace estos experimentos con software de reconocimiento facial, para dar vida después (con impresión 3D) a estas extrañas caras que son desconcertantes para nosotros, pero totalmente reconocibles (y “válidas”) para una inteligencia artificial. Así su obra hace una interesante reflexión sobre la identidad en el mundo digital, y cómo esta siendo afectada por la biometría de última generación y la perdida de la privacidad (entre otras cosas).
Así nos ven las computadoras amigos…
I’m using state of the art face recognition and face detection algorithms to guide an evolving system toward the production of human-like faces. This exposes the way the machine and the surveillance state view human identity and makes aspects of these invisible power structures visible.
This is meant as a theoretical and technical investigation into the form and function of biometric surveillance technology, which is the mathematical analysis of biological data.
Theoretically, I am concerned with the aggressive overdevelopment of surveillance technology and how this is changing human identity and how humanity interacts with technology. By technology I mean individual instances of technological devices and networked systems like cameras and software, but also what I identify as the ’Technological Other’, a global living super-organism of all machines and software. Technically, my specific focus has been in reverse engineering facial recognition, facial detection, and image correlation techniques in order to reveal how they represent human identity…
