Adam Harvey is an artist and "technologist" based in Berlin, Germany who is well known for using his artistic prowess to create art and fashion that could potentially disrupt the capability of facial recognition technology. Harvey has been profiled in the past for his elaborate ideas on styling hair and makeup in a way that prevents faces from being recognized by surveillance cameras outfitted with facial recognition software.

He is now working on a new project called Hyperface. Harvey is working with international interaction studio Hyphen-Labs and plans to release full details later this month. The Guardian reports:

The Hyperface project involves printing patterns on to clothing or textiles, which then appear to have eyes, mouths and other features that a computer can interpret as a face.

Speaking at the Chaos Communications Congress hacking conference in Hamburg, Harvey said: 'As I've looked at in an earlier project, you can change the way you appear, but, in camouflage you can think of the figure and the ground relationship.
