SHENZHEN, China - An art exhibition exploring the impact of facial recognition technology has opened in China, offering a rare public space for reflection on increasingly pervasive surveillance by tech companies and the government.

The"Eyes of the City" exhibition is being held at Shenzhen's Futian station, the first mainland stop on a high-speed rail link that opened in 2018 amid apprehension in Hong Kong about its deepening integration with mainland China. The New York Times reported in November that a Beijing arts center canceled Chinese-American artist Hung Liu's show of antiwar paintings for no clear reason though she believed it was related to Hong Kong.

"There’s probably not a better place to discuss these issues ... this is a global issue and the best way to deal with it is to open up these technologies and put them in the hands of the public," he said.
