-MegaPixels is art and research by
Adam Harvey about facial recognition datasets that aims to unravel their histories, futures, geographies, and meanings. Throughout 2019 this site, coded by Jules LaPlace, 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.
+Ever since government agencies began researching 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, or
personal videos posted on YouTube. Collectively, facial recognition datasets are now gathered "in the wild".

+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.
