Transmissions

A network of embedded cameras use facial detection to print pictures of people as they explore the space. This project provides a physical receipt of the surveillance we are subjected to on a daily basis but usually unaware of.

Transmissions consists of webcams connected to Raspberry Pi computers. These computers use artificial intelligence to identify faces which are sent to thermal printers to be printed out immediately in real time.

Hundreds of people that I invited into my studio had their faces captured and printed. Their faces are on the wall. They're also probably in the databases of Palantir, Facebook, and the FBI.
