Your sFace or Mine? Anonymity
It has been nearly 10 years since the highly interactive Your sFace or Mine? original was created. And while, at the core, it was always about the issues surrounding that most profound enigma called identity, it also called attention to the very nature of forming and exchanging the "parts" that make up the "whole" - if you will.
Your sFace or Mine? Anonymity is also centered on the enigma we call identity. The upgrade gooses the interactivity-presentation by having the lead activation (mouse/touch-over) hotspot run an animation of all the choices within that respective grid. A complete and unique mix of animated and static "parts" awaits the viewer's input. A slideshow and a short music video demonstrate some of the possibilities.
What has come to even more focus - as the "parts" become even more transient - is that, while the core of the work is centered on identity, what remains throughout all the technological change and innovation is prejudice. And while these advancements take us a few steps forward to disarm such bias, it still requires us to embrace the differences to make a difference.
