How - and Why - to be Invisible

An ornate horned frog is camouflaged in it's environment in the "Frogs: A Chorus of Many Colors" exhibit at the AMNH in NYC, Thursday, June 4, 2009.

Akiko Busch, writer, essayist and faculty member at the School of Visual Arts, discusses her new book, How to Disappear: Notes on Invisibility in Time of Transparency (Penguin Press, 2019), which explores her wish for invisibility in our highly-networked lives.
