This project by Pablo Garreton is a video mapping installation where the audience is invited to show their face to the tracking system which is divided and mapped into small geometric shapes. “Re-cognize me” is based on the concept of face recognition into account the ethical problems of the ubiquitous use of this method in social media, security cameras, our smartphones and big data. We could think that this technologies could create a safer and easier world at the service of human state of wellness but what happens when your personal information is misused? This project tries to explore the medium where our personal identity is turned into data.
