ART & INSTALLATION

Facial patterns are transforming constantly between the alienated, the uncanny and the familiar on a two-way mirror converted into a display. The transforming facial patterns are “incorrect” interpretations of artificial neural networks, resulting from an autoencoder (AI/ ANN) having been trained with a (dirty) dataset of
“incorrect” interpretations made by a facial pattern recognition system. For this purpose datasets from encrypted instant messaging groups and channels of Hong Kong‘s protest movements have been mined.
