Actuate, 2022
Through repetitive reenactment, this video reveals the depths of our physical submission to corporate biometric systems. Subjects perform Face ID gestures without their devices, their bodies automatically responding to proprietary audio cues that have trained them like Pavlovian subjects. The work documents how multinational corporations have successfully conditioned human bodies to perform specific movements in exchange for convince. Turning personal identity into a choreographed ritual of compliance. Each synchronized head rotation demonstrates our willing surrender to corporate control over the most basic aspects of human movement and self-recognition, exposing the physical demands of proprietary technology.
