Planking Adversarial Attack
Planking

This NFT collection


shows the ‘ideas and thoughts’ of algorithms for detecting and recognizing people, and what they are capable of at the moment.

Thus, we study this area: where it all began, at what point of development we are now, and where we are moving.

Dynamic NFT

Interactive Demo

The dynamic works of the NFT collection are presented in an interactive format: you can change the threshold and observe the dynamics.

Threshold is a way to manage the predictions of a neural network. The lower the threshold, the more objects will be detected, but the less likely it will be identified correctly.

> BACKGROUND STORY_

PROBLEM

The computer vision technology for human recognition is exciting, invisible and already being used — cameras are everywhere. It can be used for good purposes, i.e., ensuring order, investigating, finding criminals.

But at the same time, the technology can become an instrument for repression and be used to persecute politically unsuitable people or to introduce rating systems. This fine line between controlling actions and protecting rights and security worries many people today.

COMPUTER VISION & NEURAL NETWORKS

Human recognition is based on computer vision technologies and neural networks. Technological growth begun in 2012, when the first datasets were collected, marked up and applied in machine learning technologies, sometimes even without permission of their owners.

These technologies are massively implemented in cameras on the streets of cities, metro, roads, train stations, airports and other elements of urban infrastructure. Various organizations understand the seriousness of the situation: Meta has officially turned off support for face recognition in social networks, ethical issues are raised at the state level, and one of the Black Mirror episodes has already been implemented in China.

ADVERSARIAL ATTACK: ANALOG & SOFTWARE

While CV being developed, new adversarial attack approaches are born. It represents attacks on computer vision systems, where the addition of one pixel to the image can break the algorithm, and the network does not recognize the object.

All approaches in the field of Adversarial Machine Learning (AML) mean a targeted impact on a neural network that may cause errors in its work. They are ranked as Adversarial attacks.

However, there are “simple” attacks on algorithms that do not require writing code.

BEGINNING: PLANKING ADVERSARIAL ATTACK

My project began in 2008 with a protest against the same boring photographs, where everyone holds the sun in their hand, puts on a smile near attractions, or stands in front of something in a standard pose. My youthful protest was expressed intentionally in a silly way — in the form of planking.

Over time, I realized that it was interesting also because there were simply no photographs of this kind in the datasets. The first algorithms could not find a person in the planking photograph — this was not typical for recognition.
In the same way, photographs of naked people were not included in the datasets for ethical reasons. You can see how difficult it is for the algorithm to find a person without clothes. Perhaps this is the solution: if you believe in a war against robots, then go to it naked :)
