camouflage

2021 | 7-part series, videocall-stills (Microsoft skype) on Aludibond, each 30 x 53 cm

Almost every video telephony service offers its users the option to change the image background. Many people are not aware that this is only possible through the use of facial recognition software. It is also unclear how the companies use the data obtained in this way. In the series camouflage I use simple physics to push the technology to its limits: through movement, light and shadow I confuse the facial recognition software and thus escape the deceitful practices of the companies.
