With painted faces, artists fight facial recognition tech

#artificialintelligence

As night falls in London, Georgina Rowlands and Anna Hart start applying makeup. Rowlands has long narrow blue triangles and thin white rectangles criss-crossing her face. Hart has a collection of red, orange and white angular shapes on hers. They're two of the four founders of the Dazzle Club, a group of artists set up last year to provoke discussion about the growing using of facial recognition technology. The group holds monthly silent walks through different parts of London to raise awareness about the technology, which they say is being used for "rampant surveillance."
