Description

Face paint is a staple of festivals everywhere. In this version, we'll use patterns and shapes that obscure our features from facial recognition.

Agenda

We'll have a small table with face paint, suggested patterns, and people can have at it. Templates here: https://cvdazzle.com/#style-tips

Participants

"Each one, paint one." After your face is painted, you paint someone else's.

Outcome

Awareness of facial recognition and how to thwart it.

@thornet this sounds like so much fun!

Love this @thornet! Good article in the Atlantic about this http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/07/makeup/374929/

I think this should just be in the general entryway to MozFest ;)

Definitely could fit nicely in demystify! Also, feels like a possible cross-over opportunity too; taking on a different context in both our spaces. Just thinking about self-promotion and identify on the web vs. being unknowingly identified and tracked.

Could be fun through out the festival

EPIKhub commented 8 years ago

How about as an idea, if you don't want to be taken in photo's you get to put some of the paint on? ... :)

This also might be a good opportunity to test if CVDazzle still works against more modern techniques like Facebook's exceptionally creepily named Deepface

@EPIKhub oh, i love that idea. +1 to @omnignorant as well to think about how we could make this available maybe in the registration area or near the coffee stations. Something interstitial throughout the festival!
