What is facial recognition technology? How does the use of facial recognition technology by the police impact New Yorkers? How do we balance public safety and privacy?
During the 2019-2020 school year, CUP collaborated with teaching artist, Hugo Rojas, and public high school students from the Bronx School for Law, Government, and Justice to explore the complicated world of facial recognition technology and its impact on local communities. To investigate, students got out of the classroom to survey members of their community, interview key stakeholders working on the issue, and create art to decode, rewire, and redesign facial recognition technology.
The group collaborated with designer, Stephanie Winarto, to create this website to teach others what they learned about the effects of facial recognition technology on New Yorkers, present and future.

“It’s really nice to improve my one-on-one conversation skills. I’m an introvert. If I get into a career in journalism all these skills can help me, and it helps me feel more confident when people ask questions.”
