-MegaPixels is an art and research project by Adam Harvey about the origins and ethics of facial analysis datasets. Where do they come from? Who's included? Who created it and for what reason?
+(PAGE UNDER DEVELOPMENT)
-MegaPixels sets out to answer to these questions and reveal the stories behind the millions of images used to train, evaluate, and power the facial recognition surveillance algorithms used today. MegaPixels is authored by Adam Harvey, developed in collaboration with Jules LaPlace, and produced in partnership with Mozilla.
+<p><div style="font-size:20px;line-height:36px">Ever since government agencies began developing face recognition in the early 1960's, datasets of face images have always been central to technological advancements. Today, these datasets no longer originate in labs, but instead from family photo albums posted on photo sharing sites, surveillance cameras on college campuses, search engine queries for celebrities, cafe livestreams, and <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/22/16180080/transgender-youtubers-ai-facial-recognition-dataset">personal videos</a> posted on YouTube. </div></p>
-MegaPixels sets out to answer to these questions and reveal the stories behind the millions of images used to train, evaluate, and power the facial recognition surveillance algorithms used today. MegaPixels is authored by Adam Harvey, developed in collaboration with Jules LaPlace, and produced in partnership with Mozilla.
+Collectively, facial recognition datasets are now gathered "in the wild".
-Notes
+<p>MegaPixels is art and research by <a href="https://ahprojects.com">Adam Harvey</a> about facial recognition datasets that unravels their histories, futures, geographies, and meanings. Throughout 2019 this site this site will publish research reports, visualizations, raw data, and interactive tools to explore how publicly available facial recognition datasets contribute to a global supply chain of biometric data that powers the global facial recognition industry.</p>
-- critical but informative
-- not anti-dataset
-- pro-sharing, pro-public dataset
-- w/o data
-- not generally anti-researcher, their parent organization should have checks in place to prevent dubious dataset collection methods
--
+During the last year, hundreds of these facial analysis datasets created "in the wild" have been collected to understand how they contribute to a global supply chain of biometric data that is powering the global facial recognition industry.
+The MegaPixels website is produced in partnership with [Mozilla](https://mozilla.org).
