2face is a series of visual explorations on the ways identity is abstracted, represented, and classified by data.
By using facial recognition imagery, digital identifiers, and tracked movements on a map, this video paints an image of a disembodied person through the eyes of data surveillance. The typography and motion graphics are tied together to illustrate the topic with a sense of rigidity and fluidity at the same time.
