Student project places one person's face on another to thwart facial recognition software.

Over the weekend, bizarre footage of a facial projection technology circulated on social media in connection with the ongoing protests in Hong Kong. The mysterious device shows a headband with a large digital projector, which projects a digital image of another person's face onto whoever is wearing the device. The device was assumed to be a countermeasure to the recent ban on face coverings in Hong Kong. Initially images from the 2017 art project were thought to come from the Hong Kong protests. In fact, the videos came from a 2017 art project called'Anonymous,' created by students at Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands.
