Subverting the Catalogue Using Facial Recognition.
Fixing the problem of dourness by using FaceApp to bring a beautiful smile to the face of each subject. In doing so, a new catalogue of my images has been created which is out of my control. This raises question as to the purpose of cataloguing in the modern world, where such collections are stored, and what their future use could be. Indeed, the act of cataloguing has become more pervasive, politically-charged, and supra-national in nature as the century wears on. This tension between the right to privacy and the advance of such technologies is often glossed over in a maelstrom of hyper-convenience and rib-tickling face-filters.
