YOUR FACE AS A TANGIBLE SOCIAL INTERFACE

When defining our identity and the identity of others, our sensory abilities are increasingly replaced by networked surveillance and identification technologies. How do we experience the way our body and identity are being 'measured' as functional and controllable products? Can sensory perception play again a role in experiencing the other's identity? Saving Face reintroduces touch related perception in the digital and public domain - with the help of a personal touching body scan.
