CV Dazzle Look 5. Commission for the New York Times Op-Art. 2013.

It uses bold patterning to break apart the expected features targeted by computer vision algorithms and proves that faces, or other objects, can exist in a dual perceptual state: visible to humans yet invisible to machines. CV Dazzle was developed as my thesis at New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program and first published in April 2010.
