The Reflection of the Man

The Reflection of the Man (HD, 18”, 2021) In "The Reflection of the Man" —a video essay—, I grapple the meaning of Human in a hybrid world. Deploying and reflecting on ubiquitous technologies like face recognition software, I explore the act of seeing, beyond the explorative and embodied act. Speculative and visual, using Rorschach and algorithms, I try to get closer to my nonhuman companions and broaden the concept of being present.

The Reflection of the Man (HD, 18”, 2021)

In "The Reflection of the Man" —a video essay—, I grapple the meaning of Human in a hybrid world. Deploying and reflecting on ubiquitous technologies like face recognition software, I explore the act of seeing, beyond the explorative and embodied act. Speculative and visual, using Rorschach and algorithms, I try to get closer to my non-human companions and broaden the concept of being present.

‘The Reflection of the Man’ is a result of an ongoing dialogue with Ilse van Rijn about technology and memory in a more-than-human world.
