This event has passed.
Create an avant-garde "CV Dazzle" look with local artist Bronwyn Lewis as part of a makeup tutorial that will teach participants how to apply makeup to prevent one's face from getting picked up by face detection software. This program will also discuss the history of "dazzle" camouflage, computer vision and facial recognition software to address issues of privacy, political dissent, socio-cultural norms of beauty, as well as prescribed ideas of femininity and masculinity in technology.
