MegaPixels is art and research by Adam Harvey 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.
- -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). +The MegaPixels site is made possible with support from Mozillais Berlin-based American artist and researcher. His previous projects (CV Dazzle, Stealth Wear, and SkyLift) explore the potential for countersurveillance as artwork. He is the founder of VFRAME (visual forensics software for human rights groups), the recipient of 2 PrototypeFund grants, and is a researcher in residence at Karlsruhe HfG.
