AI Face Detection in Digital Art: Navigating Identity, Surveillance, and Automation

AI Face Detection in Digital Art: Navigating Identity, Surveillance, and Automation

The presentation, is a dynamic exploration of how facial detection intersects with identity, surveillance, and automation. The audience is introduced to these overarching themes, followed by a demonstration showcasing the technical aspects of real-time face obscuring code.

The presentation seamlessly weaves philosophical discussions on fragmented identity and the malleability of digital personas. The focus then shifts to “Anti-Surveillance Surveillance", where participants learn about interactivity in the context of a surveillance feed, challenging traditional notions and raising questions about self-commodification motivations and the feedback loop in digital culture.

Throughout, the audience become active participants, creating an immersive journey through the complex interplay of technology and philosophy. The synthesis of these elements invites reflection on the evolving relationship between humans and AI in our digital age.

In a world where technology seamlessly intertwines with our lives, we invite you to embark on a thought-provoking journey through the intricate realms of art, technology, and identity. Our presentation, "AI Face Detection in Digital Art," will delve deep into the intersections of identity, surveillance, and automation, offering a dynamic exploration that challenges preconceived notions and sparks intriguing conversations.Introduction:

Opening Statement:

Imagine a world where your face is a canvas for art, where surveillance feeds become interactive canvases for self-reflection, and where the lines between identity and automation blur. This presentation will introduce you to the overarching themes that guide our exploration: identity, surveillance, and automation, all seen through the lens of facial detection.

Personal Background:

Join us as we embark on this journey with our presenter, who will share their personal artistic voyage. Facial detection has been a common thread in their projects, shaping their perspective on the intricate relationship between technology and the self.

How Face Detection Can Be Achieved:

Demonstration (Live or Recorded):

Deep neural networks (DNN) are the building blocks of real-time facial detection. We'll provide you with a glimpse into the technical aspects, showcasing the significance of DNNs in enabling real-time interactions. Through live coding, you'll witness the magic of how code selects and transforms segments of a person's face in a live video stream.

Anti-Surveillance Surveillance:

Demonstration (Live or Recorded):

Prepare to be captivated by a live or recorded demonstration of our interactive surveillance feed at the heart of our project. Here, traditional notions of surveillance are turned on their head.

Themes:

We'll challenge you to ponder why individuals willingly share their personal data online. Are we all participants in our own commodification, and what motivates us to do so? The project will draw attention to the feedback loop ingrained in contemporary digital culture, where we actively engage with and perpetuate the systems that watch over us.

Conclusion:

Q&A and Open Discussion:

We conclude by opening the floor to you, our engaged audience, for a lively question-and-answer session and an open discussion. We encourage you to share your thoughts, insights, and questions as we collectively reflect on the evolving relationship between humans and AI in our ever-connected, digital age.

Join us on this immersive journey, where technology and philosophy converge to challenge our perceptions, inspire curiosity, and redefine the boundaries of art and technology. Don't miss this opportunity to navigate the intricate landscape of identity, surveillance, and automation in the world of digital art.
