In this video, Lattu fed thousands of his photographs into facial recognition software and let it go to work. Unable to distinguish between faces in the pictures and representations of faces in street signage, the program performs its own limitations and its frightening potentiality. It also casts a retroactive glance at earlier attempts by artists and scientists to create taxonomies of culture based on the appearances of its constituents while suggesting that the public sphere in our own time has been hollowed out and dehumanized in favor of spectacle and surveillance.
