The episode FACE your features explores the influence of technologies on our understanding of beauty. Who decides what is beautiful – ourselves, society or AI? Who controls the digitized vision towards the body and for what purpose? What role does discrimination like that based on gender and/or race play in this context? How are body ideals and beauty standards influenced by personalized news feeds, quantified selves, and widespread availability of cosmetic surgery? Are these processes leading to a global standardization of aesthetics? The workshop is hosted by Philisha Kraatz, and co-host of this edition is Echo Can Luo. Philisha Kraatz is part of dgtl fmnsm and works as an experience researcher and performance artist. Echo Can Luo is an artist, her means of expression are video installation and 3D art, algorithms are her craftsmanship.
