The Capable 'Manifesto' collection is a series of wildly patterned fashions constructed with style and privacy in mind to help wearers thwart artificial intelligence (AI)-powered camera systems.
The various fashions boast flamboyant prints covered in a series of imagery that, upon being observed by an AI-connected camera, will be focused on and interpreted as something else entirely. This enables the wearer to hide in plain sight and have their face or even human form go undetected by surveillance systems.
The Capable 'Manifesto' collection was designed as part of co-founder Rachele Didero's Ph.D being completed at the University of Milan. The collection was detected by Didero using the YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection system that's neural net-based and capable of classifying a range of objects and people in real-time.
