CV Dazzle is an art!
Guess I can mark the Smithsonian off the bucket list.
Sounds like a great way of standing out like a sore thumb and I suspect it doesn’t work nearly as well as this guy thinks it does. Some facial recognition software is pretty sophisticated.
It would be easer to just wear a balaclava. No one would notice that.
It seems to me that one would have to make many assumptions about the face recognition algorithms to think this would work.
And there must be a variety of algorithms in various systems. The software business it pretty competitive.
I don’t buy it.
Judging by the dry and parched skin on the author’s lips in the huge first picture, I’d say the guy needs to start drinking water. He looks dehydrated. Wearing pink wires in his ears (ear buds) and an odd paint on his cheeks sure made him stand out to everyone but the computer camera.
Show me science that says this BS is correct.....just one will do
Summary; When it works against the computer algorithm it makes you very obvious to the people around you.
Choose your poison; stand out in a crowd and be unrecognized by the digital survaillors, or risk NSA tracking recognition and pass unmarked and unnoticed among the teeming mass of mankind!
(You will not be noticed wearing the camouflage, of course, if you are at the circus or Comicon, or I suppose, at any gay pride parade!)

The facial camo shown is a nice start, but really the camp below is far more effective.
actually, human skin registers high in reds and makes it easy to spot.
once spotted, processing the face to determine the identity of the target is the next step. removing color and processing for major features, eyes, nose, jaw line, ears, all in relative position ... this narrows down the set of potential identities.
I’d try an eyepatch first, or an eyepatch with a snake’s eye on it.
