You Only Look Once

YOU ONLY LOOK ONCE CHALLENGES THE UNCHECKED EXPANSION OF SURVEILLANCE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BY WEAPONIZING CLOTHING AS A FORM OF DEFENSE. THE COLLECTION RESISTS THE EROSION OF PRIVACY THROUGH GARMENTS ENGINEERED TO OBSTRUCT RECOGNITION, TRACKING, AND CAPTURE. BY EMPLOYING DISRUPTIVE PRINTS AND ADVANCED TEXTILES THAT INTERFERE WITH FACIAL RECOGNITION SYSTEMS, THERMAL IMAGING, AND CAMERA FLASHES, THE WORK CONFRONTS THE INVASIVE GAZE HEAD-ON. THESE PIECES ARE DESIGNED NOT ONLY TO PROTECT, BUT TO PROVOKE,RECLAIMING VISIBILITY ON THE WEARER’S TERMS.
