So what if we start loading up our collection of pictures we haz scraped off Instagram.
From the same person that did the Instagram AI open camera search
āSurveillance Paparazziā tries to take a paparazzi photo with the use AI and unsecured surveillance cameras from all over the world.
āSurveillance Paparazziā thematises the phenomenon of artificial intelligence and global surveillance in public space. The work taps into various surveillance cameras worldwide that record and transmit unencrypted images. It was possible to hack into these cameras via the Internet so that live recordings of stores, entryways, and public spaces could be directly integrated into the work.
The installation can recognise more than 200K celebrities and searches them in more than 1000 unsecured cameras all over the world. When Depoorterās software recognises publicly known persons, with the help of artificial intelligence, the image becomes visible in real-time within the exhibition. Surveillance Paparazziās monitors then show the name of the VIP, the live image, an official image from Wikipedia, and the corresponding GPS location on a world map..
