Face off against face recognition
faception
Can privacy look prime? Can anonymity draw attention? With FACEPTION they sure can! Fool face recognition and make identification harder with our knitwear collection that makes faces appear where none exist.
Wear privacy on your sleeve
What happens to face recognition system when it detects multiple faces instead of just one? It gets flooded with false information. With our special pattern, you can slow down the recognition process and reduce the chance of being correctly identified.

Can Machines Truly Understand Movement?
In a live performance blending dance, music, and projection, human performers faced off with machine learning algorithms trained to read bodies in motion. Stripped of context, these systems often misinterpret what they see.
Our Faception collection was part of the action — and it worked: the AI responded to the patterns in the clothing as if they were actual faces. A wearable glitch that exposes the flaws in automated perception and returns the power of interpretation to the audience.
THE HUMAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES
Not quite a thousand – but enough to confuse the system. Our pattern overwhelms face recognition (open CV) by generating multiple false positives. Fragments, contrasts, and shapes are picked up as real faces – again and again. One design. Many identities. A subtle disruption to how machines "see" us.
