Facial recognition technology has enabled governments and private companies to have control of millions of faces in different countries around the world. This becomes dangerous since it threatens the privacy of citizens, which is why different activists demonstrate against this form of control and surveillance using different technological and aesthetic resources to prevent said recognition. This work aims at showing how face concealment can be a powerful semiotic device that can slow down or divert facial recognition technology, configuring new physiognomies. We begin by characterizing the forms of concealment of the face in the contemporary digital age, and then we analyze, from a semiotic perspective, a particular case: the different types of makeup that Adam Harvey proposes so that faces cannot be recognized. The results of the investigation show how this form of face concealment that generates new physiognomies builds political senses of resistance against advanced technology that aims to identify, monitor, and control human faces.

脸部隐藏和新面貌

面部识别技术使政府和私营公司能够控制世界各地不同国家的数百万张面孔。这变得很危险，因为它威胁到公民的隐私，这就是为什么不同的活动人士使用不同的技术和美学资源来反对这种形式的控制和监视，以防止这种认可。这项工作旨在展示面部隐藏如何成为一种强大的符号学装置，可以减慢或转移面部识别技术，配置新的相貌。我们首先描述当代数字时代的面部隐藏形式，然后从符号学的角度分析一个特例：亚当·哈维提出的不同类型的化妆，使面部无法被识别。调查结果表明，这种产生新相貌的面部隐藏形式如何建立起抵制旨在识别、监视和控制人脸的先进技术的政治意识。
