M.K.E.
2019

with Ákos Plesznivy

M.K.E. / Magyar Képzőművész-Elhárítás (H.U.F.A. / Hungarian United Front Against Artists) is a surveillance system built for the identification and observation of art students. The algorithm detects and learns the faces of visitors, then links fictive data to their profiles. This data could possibly serve as grading points of such a system in the future.

(The subjects' faces have been pixelated in the documentation to preserve their anonimity.)
