An art project started by Noortje Palmers and Jasper Declercq set out to test the Instagram algorithm that detects and blocks naked female breasts - an automatic and unnecessary social media censorship that Naturists suffer from.
They set up an Instagram account called @Taboob_official and, with the help of stylists Farah El Bastani and Harriet Wouters, posted 75 pictures of naked female breasts disguised in various clever artistic ways. Then they sat back to see if the algorithm was clever enough to spot any of them. To be fair, some are more obvious than others but all of them fit the description on the “Art Project” tin.
