A Screensaver for LG's Spying Smart TVs

A Screensaver for LG's Spying Smart TVs

Ad tech companies like LG use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR) to analyze everything displayed on their smart TVs. We Own the Glass is an artistic protest that turns your screen into a digital pitchfork: a fullscreen slideshow of public-domain artworks depicting uprisings, from the Peasants' War to the Storming of the Bastille. The slow pan-and-zoom and cross-fades prevent OLED burn-in, making it a practical screensaver that doubles as a political statement.

Ad tech companies like LG think they own our TV screens.

    Just don’t let it connect to the internet then? I don’t trust any tv to connect directly to the internet at all. Ever.

    Anyone else make the switch to projectors from TVs as a primary way of watching media?
