Visitors of the Bürgeramt Arnsberg (administration office) are invited to have their portrait taken which in the following is analyzed by a face recognition software. In the next step the participants select an emoji to have their face ‚over-recognized‘. The typical mark points of the face recognition (nose tip, left eyebrow, chin …) are replaced with the chosen emojis. Covered in large emojis the portrait becomes a mask, hiding the actual individual. The resulting picture is printed on site on A3+ photo paper for the participants to take home.
