Workshop
Marcel Top | artist
Marcel Top invites you to a workshop to discover how video surveillance software works. Together, we will learn how algorithms detect emotions and movements by testing them on our own faces and bodies. Then, in groups of three or four, you will use your creativity to try and outsmart these programs. Create masks, paint faces, and use other methods straight from your imagination: come and try to take back control of the algorithm!
Marcel Top is a visual artist working between Belgium and London whose practice investigates mass surveillance, privacy and data collection. His work layers documentary research with experimental technologies: facial recognition, movement analysis and deepfakes, to visualize how citizens can reclaim control over surveillance tools.
