|
|
|
|
|
|
Description:
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an audio-guide of an experiment of gait analysis,
|
|
|
If you never heard about this term, gait analysis is the study of walking patterns as used by new surveillance biometric technologies.
|
|
|
People are asked to walk following a series of spoken instructions. The walks are stored temporarily on a page where you’re invited to “adopt a walk” of another person.
|
|
|
|
|
|
“Have you ever tried to identify someone by the way they walk?
|
|
|
Surveillance technologies are using homogenic perception of human beings as a model for their mechanics.”
|
|
|
|
|
|
With this experiment you’re suggested to observe characteristics of other walks and adopt them.
|
|
|
In adopting a different walk do you become someone else?
|
|
|
Will it be you or someone else’s identity that is detected by these surveillance algorithms?
