The Human Detector (avoiding detection)

Brief description

The user is challenged to push a button without being detected by the machine as a human. If the user is fair skinned it becomes a challenge to do this. Creative means like disguising one self as a painting can lead to success and the user can see a rerun of the video. However, facial recognition algorithm does not recognize well persons with darker skins like the artist who created the game. Hence the technology presents a gain for those who are often discriminated by the same technologies. By changing the rules the artist reverses and subverts experiences with facial recognition technologies in everyday life.
