FaceReader explores the interactive potential of facial recognition and surveillance technologies. Taking the form of a speculative CCTV camera, it harnesses the power of advanced FaceAPI technology to raise awareness in a world that is becoming increasingly reliant on surveillance systems.
By translating the detected facial expressions into a playful and engaging interactive experience, FaceReader prompts audiences to consider the ethical implications of facial recognition technology and the potential for misuse by those in power.
