inv.img
2016 – video series / video installation – video: HD (portrait format), loop
In the video series „inv.img“, algorithmically generated facial patterns tempt us to overinterpret an (apparently) shared rhythm. Hallucinations
of a facial recognition system (false positives) make up the data sets of artificial neural networks that predict these synthetic
faces as mimicries of human facial expressions. Through processes of data optimisation and cleaning, originally unique variations of
shape, proportion, expression and movement are thus reduced to representative models.
