Tony Oursler's contribution to the group edition FACES consists of a triptych of three very different faces – or rather, facial configurations. Works A and B from the Recognition project highlight Oursler’s interest in the relationship between humans and machines, exemplified through the development and proliferation of facial recognition technology. Work C is taken from b0t / fl0w - ch@rt, where robotic mixed media glass sculptures with artificial intelligence, miniature flat screens and exposed computer circuitry and a variety of other materials were figuratively arranged and shown next to two dimensional screens based on flow charts. The chimerical bots relate to Oursler's ongoing interest in our day to day interactions with technology and question the intelligence of the A.I.-systems.
