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.

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.
