Silver: On how to save face
March 10, 2021
Biometric data belongs to the state and corporations, but least of all to its owners. For many years, I have had to prove my authenticity using biometrics. It was interesting to me to look at myself from the other side. I would like to think that I am more than my biometric data. How do I look in the eyes of government agencies and corporations? Will I be able to feel more valid (real) by collecting my biometric data and correlating it with my idea of ​​me? In the project, I reflect on the element of violence in the collection of biometrics: I draw parallels with the historical collection of information according to the Bertillon system, for this I photographed and measured some parameters of my body, took fingerprints. For a more complete picture, I created a thermogram and 3D model of my face. I also experiment with the concept of morphing, for this I made a family tree by combining my passport photo with photos of my closest relatives. I deconstruct my own appearance, deconstruct the constituents of my body (biometrics) and put them together so as not to lose my identity.
