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 a contemporary portrait of a disembodied person through the eyes of data surveillance. Through typography and motion graphics, I explore both the rigidity and fluidity of digital identity, illustrating the often conflicting experiences of the internet as simultaneously prescriptive and freeing.
Received an RGD Bell Media Award for Typography - Digital in 2020.
Initial Explorations
Much of the concepts from 2face came from previous work that I noticed explored similar questions. Translating them into motion offered an opportunity to weave them together narratively, creating a fuller picture of what it means to exist online, along with its potentialities and realities.
Accordion book using reflective covers + layered transparencies.
