Biometric Mirror: Performance under Surveillance

Can AI bring the fairy tale mirror to life? Inspired by the influences of technology on human emotion, Biometric Mirror is more than just a reflection – it reveals unknown truths about its viewer.

Dates 20 – 28 February 2020
Venue NExT Lab Melbourne School of Design

ABOUT THE INSTALLATION

As global societies adopt forms of surveillance that reach ever deeper into our lives, human thoughts and behaviours are increasingly manipulated by technology. Through its interactive nature, Biometric Mirror in turn prompts audience members to think about the profound impact of technology on human creativity and the arts, ethics, privacy, authority and our future.

This controversial and provoking new work is underpinned by live performances drawing on ancient Asian traditions. During the performance session, Biometric Mirror will guide you on an intimate journey to rethink your own understanding of the organic nature of performance. The mirror is watching…
