URME Surveillance was recently fictionalized (with permissions) as a plot point on CBS’s CSI: Cyber Staring James Van Der Beek and Patricia Arquette. The show gave a decently fair albeit limited representation of the project. It doesn’t get better than Patricia Arquette handling your work though :) to find out more about URME Surveillance visit www.URMESurveillance.com

These photos are taken at Art Souterrain, an annual festival that floods Montreal's underground tunnels and buildings with over 60 public art works. URME Surveillance was formally invited to exhibit its Facial Video Encryption software. In addition over 200 URME Paper Masks were distributed on opening night. I spent 3 hours talking with the public about my project and how it fit this years theme of security it public spaces.

Animated GIFs of URME Surveillance Public Workshop
As covered by the Washington Post and CNET, URME Surveillance is a new media project that protects the public from facial recognition technology by allowing them to wear a prosthetic of artist Leo Selvaggio's face, thus presenting an alternative identity to surveillance cameras. This workshop began with an active discussion about surveillance and its intersection with themes of identity, prejudice, and power. Participants were then invited to make paper masks of themselves or of the artist's face to be worn in a walk to Crown Fountain lead by Selvaggio. All activities were challenge-by-choice. for full video, click here
