Database

Public installation by Tobias Zimmer and David Ebner is a booth which monitors passers-by with cameras and facial recognition tech, streaming results on printed paper which become shredded:

The art project »Database« is a public installation on the subject of surveillance. It covers the invisible and unnoticed collection of data in both public as well as digital spaces and discusses the use of said information. The installation consists of a continuous printer, a paper shredder and two cameras, which detect the faces of people passing by. The faces are being printed together with a respective data entry that indicates date, time and number of the capture. They are then going to be processed by the shredder, while the digital image files are deleted immediately upon printing. This way the »Database« is gradually filling itself with huge amounts of paper and data.

More about the project can be found here

That was the price of autonomy: an inalienable right to madness and suffering, inseparable from the right to solitude and peace.
