Why it’s interesting
Visitors encounter a digital double that is copied, measured, and analyzed, turning the data power behind facial recognition, deepfakes, and algorithmic profiling into an experiential theater.
The subject of surveillance becomes personal. Seeing a version of yourself manipulated and interpreted makes otherwise invisible data extraction feel immediate.
How to try it
Visit the official Ars Electronica archive for installation images and the artist statement. The physical interaction has ended, but its documentation remains available online.
Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
