MegaPixels is an independent art and research project by Adam Harvey and Jules LaPlace that investigates the ethics, origins, and individual privacy implications of face recognition image datasets and their role in the expansion of biometric surveillance technologies. In this work, which was created for the 2019 Print Screen Festival, Harvey found more than 7,000 photos of Israelis in the facial image repositories used by biometric identification companies and presented the information back as animated portraits showing the key landmark points that detection algorithms found to be significant for facial recognition.
