Artist's Shirt Tricks AI Cameras Into Not Seeing A Person
Simon Weckert built the garment from academic adversarial-clothing research and tested it against YOLO near Berlin's Kottbusser Tor surveillance station.
- Kottbusser Tor's behavior-scanning camera system in Berlin is set to switch on in 2025-2026.
- The pattern draws on peer-reviewed research, including Hu et al.'s work on adversarial clothing.
- Weckert admits the shirt makes no claim against real government systems, since outsiders cannot test them.
Why it matters: The state builds the surveillance machine, and the market now sells the citizen a way to vanish.
