By uploading and circulating pictures, publishing data and using search engines we become unwitting, unwilling and passive participants in our own surveillance and data analysis. In the time of facial recognition, every selfie can be used to produce a more rigorous biometric profile. That this data can be used to perfect facial recognition technology is plausible, but we may never know.
“If you knew that your image, your friend’s image, or your child’s image was being used for developing products in the defense industry, would you object?” (Adam Harvey)
