In the era of digital connectivity, the project
"Data Portraits" navigates the intricate
landscapes of privacy within the realms of Instagram, LinkedIn, Bumble, and WhatsApp. Through an Augmented Reality (AR) series, the project presents the author's profile
pictures of each platform as a metaphorical lens
to dissect the nuanced interplay between
corporate data collection and the unseen data
mosaics the users contribute to. Each pixel
represents the tiny pieces that add to the
bigger picture within the huge amounts of data
a person creates on their own every day.
Combining the visual aspect with the
interactive, informational layer is key for each of the AR scenes.The project challenges viewers to be aware of the cost of their online presence, urging a discourse on evolving privacy norms in the
social media landscape.
