02. Zach Blas Facial Weaponization Communiqué: Fag Face
The Facial Weaponization Suite develops forms of collective and artistic protest against biometric facial recognition–and the inequalities these technologies propagate–by making masks in community-based workshops that are used for public intervention. One mask, the Fag Face Mask, is a response to scientific studies that attempt to build models based on tests where people « accurately » define sexual orientation after looking at a face for 0.5 milliseconds. This mask is generated from the biometric facial data of many queer men’s faces, resulting in a mutated, alien facial mask that cannot be read or parsed by biometric facial recognition technologies.

03. Merrit Kopas LIM (2012)
« I make digital games and interactive art about bodies, relationships, and emotions. At its best, I see play as a utopian project that contains a critique of the present and the seeds of potential futures. My games are directed towards non-traditional game audiences, inviting interaction and play with the goal of challenging players’ preconceptions and experiences more so than their reflexes or logic. » (Merrit Kopas)

05. Adam Harvey CV Dazzle (2014)
CV Dazzle explores how fashion can be designed in such a way that it would act as camouflage from face-detection technology. Since facial-recognition algorithms rely on the identification and spatial relationship of key facial features, like symmetry and tonal contours, one can block detection by creating an “anti-face”. CV Dazzle therefore proposes avant-garde hairstyling and makeup to break apart the continuity of a face.

08. Jacolby Satterwhite Country Ball (2012)
Country Ball is Satterwhite's attempt to recreate a home video from the late 80’s of a family picknick. He traced 35 drawings by his mother that illustrated outdoor recreational utilities, and imported them into a 3D program. Sattlewhite himself performs in front of the camera and a green screen a hundred times; later he inserts those videos into the virtual space to create a “Garden of Earthly Delights”.

11. Chase Joynt Resisterectomy (2012)
Resisterectomy juxtaposes the narrative of trans sex reassignment surgeries with the narrative of cancer surgeries – mastectomy and hysterectomy – the same surgeries, organized in relation to very different modes of telling, showing and embodiment. It is originally a 4-part multi-media moving image, picture and text installation that challenges the boundaries of a gendered body through the examination and infiltration of, in and on various medical procedures and spaces.

12. Bradley Manning chatlogs (2011)
In 2011, Wired.com published the IRC logs between accused WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning and Adrian Lamo, the ex-hacker in whom he confided and who reported him to the authorities. 
« We now believe that independent reporting elsewhere has tipped the scale in favor of publishing. By all evidence, Manning is a figure of historic importance. Inasmuch as the conversations shed light on the personal pressures in Manning’s life at the time of his arrest, publishing the logs serves a valid news interest, and at this point we believe it will cause little additional harm to Manning’s privacy. »

In this classic work, Rosler voices her disapproval of mainstream ideas of the « tyranny of expectations. » What appears at first as a routine checkup, soon evolves into a cruel assessment of the woman’s physical characteristics, and the measurements taken of her body are deemed as either « below standard, standard, or above standard. »

24. The Machine to Be Another: Gender Swap
Experiment developed by SPECS (Synthetic, Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems Group),  Pompeu Fabra University, Master of Digital Arts Pompeu Fabra Barcelona and Fablab Barcelona.
Documentation of Gender Swap, an experiment that uses themachinetobeanother.org system as a platform for an embodiment experience and in which users can feel themselves like if they were in a different body. In order to create the brain ilusion they used immersive Head Mounted Display Oculus Rift, and first-person cameras. To create this perception, both users have to synchronize their movements. If one does not correspond to the movement of the other, the embodiment experience does not work. It means that both users have to constantly agree on every movement they make. Throughout this experiment, the research group wants to investigate issues like gender identity, queer theory, feminist technoscience, intimacy and mutual respect.

26. Facebook Pride Connects Us (June 2012)
« Over 400 Facebook employees marched down Market Street in San Francisco for Pride yesterday. I wondered if Facebook feared any backlash from conservative countries where it's popular but tolerance is not. Slater Tow, a member of the Gay@Facebook employees group assured me 'Facebook very much supports diversity' but that its presence at Pride is 'not a company led initiative. Its 100% employee driven.' »
