CAPTCHR consists of a series of speculative CAPTCHA styled interactions designed to comment on the increasingly intrusive data gathering required to identify humans on the internet. The project applies artificial intelligence techniques to create speculative CAPTCHAs that blur the lines between humans and machines. These CAPTCHRs employ data collection methods such as sentiment analysis, voice recognition, and body tracking to depict the increasing difficulty of distinguishing humans from computers. CAPTCHR highlights the ethical implications of increasingly intrusive CAPTCHAs, which require users to provide increasingly personal data to prove their humanity. The speculative nature of the interaction invites the viewer to consider the future of online identification and the implications of technological advancements on privacy and security. The CAPTCHR interaction is housed inside a website styled to look like a desktop. HTML links are disguised as computer icons, creating the illusion of being on a real computer. This immersive experience adds a story element to the project, inviting the viewer to engage with themes of technology, identity, and privacy and their own role in shaping the future of these systems.
