Disassembly

The system isolates and magnifies a part of each participant’s face, layering it with digital patterns across a giant screen. While each visitor instinctively recognizes the fragment they control, everyone else only sees anonymous facial features that seem to be disconnected from the people standing before them.

A second surprise layer of interaction extends this fragmentation to the body. As participants move around the mosaic, small tiles of facial fragments accumulate into their abstract silhouettes that follow their movements across the screen. When no one is present, these fragments shrink and multiply, filling the entire display with a field of visual noise reminiscent of digital static.

By reducing the face to anonymous data, DISASSEMBLY explores a future where human presence is no longer perceived as identity, but as information to be captured, analyzed and repurposed. Creating the unsettling sensation of being continuously observed and tracked, the work questions how artificial intelligence is increasingly interpreting humanity not as individuals, but as datasets from which new systems, information and realities are constructed.
