No, it wasn't that. And I don't think it was Adam Harvey. I'm thinking it was around 2006 or so, but I could be off by a bit. It was really the same, an art project with bright infrared LEDs that washed out the face on nighttime surveillance cameras. But he may not have invented it. The guy who did the hoodie says in another post that he read about the idea in a William Gibson novel.
