3x3x6 (Audiences participating and being surveilled)

Brief description

Alongside 10 videos with performers reinterpreting historical figures subjected to persecution or imprisonment for their transegressions, the exhibition includes "the cube", a central hub of computational devices controlling the gallery's surveillance and machine vision systems. Audiences can participate in two ways: upon entering the exhibition, their faces are scanned by surveillance cameras and reproduced as abstract compositions on screens. Visitors can also upload videos of themselves dancing, that are then processed by body pose recognition algorithms and projected in the gallery.
