De-surveillance.jpg

The surveillance camera at the corner of Witte de Withstraat / Hartmansstraat in Rotterdam couldn’t handle a specific type of the color blue, a flaw discovered and exploited by Sander Veenhof in the context of the ‘For Security Reasons’ exhibition at Showroom MAMA.

A temporary ‘de-surveillance service point’ on the same streetcorner assisted visitors of the De Wereld van Witte de With festival to disappear from the Rotterdam surveillance camera network: by wearing or holding anything blue, they could become invisible.[2]

Faceless explores the trend to hide, mask or edit the face. This trend arose at the beginning of the century in the arts, fashion and media. From avant-garde masks to art that forces open a dialogue with facial recognition software, surveillance cameras and drones. An exhibition about seduction, privacy and surveillance. With 100+ artworks, workshops on using anonymity as a form of protest, lectures and more.[5]
