Biometry, digital panopticon, Opcity, Mask, Facial recognitionAbstract
The measurement and standardization of bodies has become, in the era of Big Data, a central mechanism of surveillance and biopolitical control. In some contemporary artistic practices that think about the technology-identity intersection, we find discourses on different strategies of resistance to this digital panopticon, which are often articulated around the complexity of the exhibition/concealment binomial.
