This privacy mask is an art piece called Surveillance Exclusion by artist and technologist Jip van Leeuwenstein. Leeuwenstein’s website says this mask is formed like a lens. It’s designed to make you unrecognizable to facial recognition software while still letting you interact with other people without losing your identity and expressions.
