The artwork reveals the mechanisms by which a face is digitally recognized, tracked, and visualized. By utilizing MediaPipe, a Google-developed library, this artwork unveils the systematic recognition of faces, representing them through a mesh of dots and interconnections.

MediaPipe’s claim to “estimate 468 3D face landmarks in real-time” is central to this exploration. By manipulating these landmarks and drawing random connections, the artwork amplifies the process by which human faces are deconstructed and comprehended by technology, prompting contemplation of what constitutes the digital portrayal of oneself. The inclusion of the blurring effect raises important inquiries regarding the importance of human existence within the digital realm when constructing one’s self-image.
