Question 1

Who created the Digital Camouflage shirt and why?

Accepted Answer

Berlin-based artist and technologist Simon Weckert created it in response to the AI video surveillance planned for Berlin's Kottbusser Tor, aiming to question how much trust such systems deserve if a simple garment can defeat them.

Question 2

How does the shirt hide people from AI cameras?

Accepted Answer

Its saturated colors and overlapping shapes form an adversarial pattern that overloads a detection network's early layers and breaks the body's outline, so the software can no longer bind the parts into a single human figure, according to Weckert's explanations.

Question 3

How much does it cost and does it guarantee anonymity?

Accepted Answer

The shirt sells for about $88, and Weckert states on his site that it is not a promise of anonymity and makes no claim about defeating any specific government surveillance system.
