A Blob for Our Time
The Facial Weaponization Suite, another artwork, is meant as a form of protest. Artist Zach Blas developed these blobby masks as a statement about both surveillance and structural inequalities. The masks are made using a composite of face data from multiple people. One uses the biometric data of gay mens faces as a response to studies which linked facial features to sexual orientation.
Presumably you could wear a sock over you head for the same effect, but it just wouldn’t have that same pink pizazz.
