Gallery: Anti-Drone Camouflage: What to Wear in Total Surveillance
01anti-drone-scarf
*The anti-drone scarf is meant to be worn as a hijab. "It is also inspired by the rationale behind the hijab," says Harvey, "'the veil which separates man or the world from God,' replacing God with drone."*
02thermal-visor
*The thermal visor is a more simple garment, and really only serves to hide the face from above. The UAV silhouette playfully acts as anti-camoflage, showing up as a sharp image in thermal photos.*
03thermal-proof-hoodie
*The bare midriff of the hoodie highlights the effectiveness of its thermal camouflaging. "I wanted to do a hoodie because it assumes that there is a high enough demand for anti-thermal imaging clothes that one would want to add style," says Harvey.*
04facial-recognition-disguise
*Harvey's CV Dazzle project used a variety of makeup strategies to defeat current facial-recognition systems. Like WWI Dazzle camouflage, it works by breaking up the image, so the viewer won't recognize what they are seeing.*
05facial-recognition-patterns
*One of the strangest things about the CV Dazzle makeup is how much it looks like something David Bowie or '80s cyberpunks would wear. Little did we know that their outlandish future aesthetics would have operational advantages.*
06camoflash
*CamoFlash exploits the face that the speed of light is faster than the speed of a shutter. When it detects a flash going off, it fires one of its own, overloading the light sensor.*
