作品論述:

The Premise
With the proliferation of social networks and data tracking, the wisdom of computer algorithms and surveillance mobs has been elevated over the locked-in immortality of individuals. Tracking your data with face recognition, this interactive medium invites you to become a real-time protagonist of the story.

The Idea
As you browse through the interactive book for the first time, the camera uses facial recognition to pair your profile with data tracked through search engines. The book draws a back-end algorithm and fills in the blank of the narrative with your name, age, gender, location and birth date. As the story unfolds with each turn of a page, you realize that this is a story about you.

Enabling Technology
Converting Rekognition API data on Processing, two sketches had to be run to first trace the user’s face profile, followed by projecting their data into the narrative plot. Client to Server communication was used on the two processing sketches.

The Final Product
The first web camera tracks the user flipping the book by using nyar4psg markers. The second web camera traces their face and with facial recognition, pulls their data pre-stored and projects it into the book – injecting the user into the narrative plot.
