Quora: Are there any technologies to prevent yourself from being captured on camera or video?

There actually is an easy and cheap way you can prevent yourself from being captured on video or CCTV. Most cameras (especially black and white security cameras) will see low levels of infrared light. This helps them video at dusk/dawn and in lower levels of light. The level of light the camera can see is called the LUX level. To test this theory turn on your video camera and point your TV remote control at it. Change a few channels and you will see a pulse of light flash that the naked eye obviously can’t see. With that said you can easily make an infrared hat with cheap $1 infrared LEDs stitched into the front of the hat, the more the better… Attach a 9 volt battery to the LEDS and bam you are now a giant LED flash light. People will see nothing out of the ordinary, but CCTV cameras will only see a large flash of infrared light coming from your head, hiding your face.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

I JUST SWAM UP FROM THE INKY DEPTHS OF YOUR GREATEST FEARS WITH MY INSANE NEEDLE TEETH, MOUTHFUL OF ALIEN BRAINS AND FACE WITH A BUTTHOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT TO ENSURE THAT YOU WON’T SLEEP FOR WEEKS KNOWING THAT I AM NOT A MOVIE PROP BUT RATHER SOMETHING YOU CAN ENCOUNTER SIMPLY BY VENTURING A COUPLE HUNDRED FEET BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE VAST AND ONLY BARELY EXPLORED OCEAN, WHERE EVERYTHING IS COBBLED TOGETHER FROM NIGHTMARES AND JELLY THE FURTHER DOWN YOU GO.

Anouk Wipprecht’s Robotic Spider Dress on Fashioning Technology:

In collaboration with engineer Daniel Schatzmayr, Anouk Wipprecht’s latest techno-couture creation is a sinister robotic spider dress. 

Perched on the wearer’s shoulders are animated robotic limbs that eerily crawl around the body. The robotic dress both incites the curiosity of passersby by coyly dancing around the wearer’s body while at the same time protecting the wearer if somebody approaches too fast or comes to close.

The performative garment deals with themes of “personal space” and raises questions concerning control and privacy. 

As with with much of Wipprecht’s past work, the space of the body is once again transformed into a stage where the garment becomes the leading actor.
