How readable are you?

Translating reality into data holds the premise of machine readability. When reality, including you, is not readable to a machine, your machine-predicted future will be based on generalizations and probabilities attributed to you. It will not be based on you.

We urge you to reclaim your future, your reality, your agency, your diversity, and your imagination.

The project will be a theatrical live installation that invites a player in an ad hoc setting. Your portrait will be taken.
