What first caught my eye with this project was the texture of the masks. I am fascinated with certain textures, and these masks fall into that category. Some of them look like they could be rocks, and others look like a bunch of cotton balls stuck together or something. Even though it’s sort of not the point of the project, I am very intrigued by how they look. These masks are supposed to make a face unrecognizable to surveillance and facial recognition algorithms – and I think that this is a really interesting-looking approach to doing that.
