dc.description.abstractThe collection of Victorian-themed wearables and accessories of  "No Person Detected" serves as an innovative solution to the issues surrounding biometric technology and the invasion of privacy. This wearable technology was designed to counteract the involuntary recording of an individual's unique biometric data through the use of body cameras and CCTV, which can be accessed by law enforcement and marketing companies. The technology represents a democratization of design ideas and collaboration that allows individuals to create adversarial fashion and provides a level of biometric protection. This thesis explores the potential of technological innovation and collaboration to result in a more privacy-conscious society, one where individuals can take control of their personal data and protect themselves against the dangers of biometric tracking. The convergence of fashion, technology, and design has the potential to revolutionize how we approach privacy in a digital age, and "No Person Detected" represents an exciting step towards that future.en
dc.description.abstractgeneralAs technology becomes a larger component of our daily lives, our digital footprint continues to expand, leaving behind sensitive identifying information. From this data, law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and ICE derive insights and conclusions about our lives. Due to unreliable data, facial recognition technology (FRT) has demonstrated implicit bias, particularly toward racialized bodies. This highlights the need for public education and responsible online behavior and raises questions about the privacy and security of personal data. At the intersection of fashion, history, and technology, "No Person Detected" aims to fight against the involuntary collection of biometric data in an adversarial way. With the proliferation of FRT and the accumulation of personal data from a variety of sources, it is crucial that both businesses and individuals establish transparent policies to protect user data. This thesis highlights both the historical context of racism in policing and the significance of privacy in the digital age.en
