The Chicago Police Department is now one of 600+ known agencies to deploy Clearview AI; a facial recognition app that scrapes images from platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn to sell its proprietary policing technology.
With a databank of over three billion headshots—and fifty million more added each day—this algorithm implicates us all by design.
In creating an augmented-reality Instagram filter, inspired by the UI/UX of Clearview, FACE IT disrupts the desensitized state of surveillance capitalism through the guise of entertainment; providing a well-lit opportunity to see ourselves in a system that customarily operates behind a thin blue line.
