Animated Portraits, 2019-2021, experimental animations

Medium:  animations using found imagery and iPhone app
Process: use of facial improvement app to create incremental changes, individual images combined into video format
Exhibited: Kunsthalle am Hamburger Platz, Kabinett, Berlin
Media: http://kunsthalle.kunsthochschule-berlin.de/x-ray.html​

Sample: https://vimeo.com/428103407
Animations created by feeding images into a phone application for facial enhancement. Each new "improved" image is then fed back into the app, with the results fed back into the equation. Each iteration adds its misdirected bombardment of “improvement”, “entertainment” and “beauty” to the image and denotes a criticism of a post-capitalist dystopia.
