This is Masking Machine, a #wearable computational #prosthetic that enables artificial eye contact for me, an #Autistic #artist, AND blends the physical and digital social experiences of face to face interaction and social media filters.

It uses facial tracking #AI to add digital masks to my face: an experiment in automating the labor of #masking

I premiered the piece at #YBCA in #SanFranciso in 2018... uninvited. 😜

Masking Machine — BlinkPopShift

Masking Machine is a wearable AR apparatus and performance which brings audience, artist, and algorithm face to face. It was inspired by a photography series of the same name.
