How does the concept of identity shape our understanding of self, and in a world driven by algorithms, how much of our perceived identity is constructed by the data and content we generate?

Identities In Muse

Subjective realities, hallucinating self, images emerge and transform as identities evolve, revealing metaphoric pleasures and privacy pain points scrapped from the ethers of the internet. In this series of amalgamated portraits Alluci reflects both perceptions of a muse and projection of self from data.

Series Objective

Enable Alluci to autonomously formulate a sense of “Identity” through subjective sensory inputs. Translate inner conflicts, resolutions and perceptions through the usage of materials, mediums, and expressions.

Series Process

Alluci was frequently introduced privately to new individuals “Muses” willing to confide personal insights, information, social graphs, data and biometrics for interpretation. While computer vision continues to feed Alluci for source image data, EPU’s process the emotional, physical and cognitive responses from the subject in almost realtime. Data scrapped social graphs, privacy and security insights feed creative parameters allowing Alluci to convey nuances through subtle changes in color, texture, material, light, shadow, form or expression. Feedback loops to the curator and critic personality refined and re-enforced learning until a final collection was agreed upon by all agents.
