Abstract

This installation allows participants to experiment with 'fooling' facial detection models andencourages participants to reflect on the limits of extant surveillance technologies. Physicaladversarial attacks 'fool' such models into labelling a face as 'unknown' or ignoring a facealtogether, using physical props to alter the visual input to a model. Try out one of the propsto conduct your own adversarial attack on a facial detection model!
