Faceless

In a current alcohol advertisement a'' melancholic '' android faces the public and volunteering grant certain privileges of ''major importance'' to humans. It grants almost everything but at the same time it steals, hides and keeps for itself the most considerable one. The privilege of self-knowledge reserved so far to the man of discrimination. The wisdom to know by yourself who you are. In brief: the machine knows better than humans, for humans who they ''really'' are.
There are people that destroy and burn surveillance cameras and by that act, confirm the android's stance and its message. By destroying a street camera, one not only accepts that he/she ignores who he/she is, but also that he/she is incapable to understand the system that ''attacks''. Fortunately, there are exceptions.
The following case is one of them:

The FACELESS Project (2002–2007) deals with legal issues around surveillance (CCTV) images. Besides the 50 minute sci-fi film, the project has resulted in works including The Manifesto for CCTV Filmmakers; The Eye: Choreography for surveilled space; The Making-of Lounge: Research and behind-the scenes materials; and The Spectral Children: a multiple screen video installation.
