Medialab exhibit "ID/entity: Portraits of the 21st century" 2001.
Our piece "strangers to ourselves" (kelly Dobson, Steven Smith, and I) was an interactive holographic installation
An invisible, ever-changing apparatus guides the making of personal identity. There is no such thing as a being; only projections, interpretations, idealized memories, idolized constructions. A person exists through auto-recollections, and knowingly surrounds herself with self-defining tokens. Autotopographies.
A pulsed laser hologram takes hours to set up but only six nanoseconds to shoot a portrait capturing self-conscious poses while revealing details more minute than could ever be planned. Through the gathering of surveillance data, we leave ever more coherent sets of traces. Unknowingly. Digital voyeurism. How do we respond to these unsolicited incursions?
