New Media final project Polyphem by Bodo Grulich

“We drove the sharp end of the beam into the monster’s eye, and bearing upon it with all my weight I kept turning it round and round” Homer – Odyssey, Book 9

Just as Odysseus poked out the eye of the Cyclops Polyphemus, this UPCA – Universal physical camouflage attack aims to blind the giants of our time. Driven by capitalist greed, we and our data have degenerated into a mere resource from which to profit. In order to restore the balance of power, the patterns I have designed prevent the algorithmic processing of video footage.
