Fragments

As people observe this portrait, a hidden camera captures images of their faces then aligns them, breaks them into fragments, and reassembles them along with fragments of all past viewers into a constantly evolving digital mosaic.

This live-generated artwork engages the audience as both viewer and participant, creating a reciprocal experience where one's presence dynamically reshapes the artwork. Through this constantly evolving piece, Fragments explores the intersections of technology, identity, and observation, allowing viewers to witness the real-time construction of a collective identity.

The ultimate goal of this piece is to raise questions about how the technology industry harvests, exploits, and aggregates data from many users all over the world into digital mosaics that do not exist in reality.
