MegaPixels is an art and research project first launched in 2017 for an installation at Tactical Technology Collective's GlassRoom about facial recognition datasets. In 2018 it was extended to cover pedestrian analysis datasets for a commission by Elevate Arts festival in Austria. Since then MegaPixels has evolved into a large-scale interrogation of hundreds of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets.
-MegaPixels aims to provide a critical perspective on machine learning image datsets, one that might otherwise escape academia and industry funded artificial intelligence think tanks that are often supported by the same technology companies who have created many of the datasets presented on this site.
-MegaPixels is an independent project, designed as a public resource for educators, students, journalists, and researchers. Each dataset presented on this site undergoes a thorough review of its images, intent, and funding sources. Though the goals are similar to publishing a public academic paper, MegaPixels is a website-first research project.
-One of the main focuses of the dataset investigations is uncovering where funding originated. Because of our empahasis on other researchers' funding sources, it is important that we are transparent about our own. This site and the past year of reserach have been primarily funded by a privacy art grant from Mozilla in 2018. The original MegaPixels installation in 2017 was built as a commission for and with support from Tactical Technology Collective and Mozilla. Continued development in 2019 is partially supported by a 1-year Reseacher-in-Residence grant from Karlsruhe HfG and lecture and workshop fees.
