+25^N a work made by Tony Oursler inspired by facial recognition, this face is showing a digital face feature and the algorithm deigned from them. It maintains the interest of the artist on how technology plays a role in human behaviour as digital media is in our daily life.

Oursler focuses on the spread of big data but mainly interested in facial recognition technology. Oursler is inspired by multiple public and private organisations that use facial recognition techniques, including social media. The artist uses a web of geometric designs, scattered data points, and registration nodes integral for the composition of the work, incorporating a computer drawing representing mapping techniques and baseline characteristics that are essential for facial recognition. Oursler work tends to be in large scales and have a big consideration for the digital cultivation and to capture the identity of the person as well as who and how is the tracking used This body of work ultimately renders the technological realm from the counterpoint perspective of the machines that are increasingly modified to adapt human traits.

I like this piece of work the most, the reason for this is the way the lines do not look define but even then, the face features are really defined and clear. I also like how the vibrant, cold, and warm colours show the different thermal temperatures of the face so the face recognition can work, it also shows us how the dispositive see us when we are using

I am going to make a response of the artist work By taking inspiration from the fact that he uses body parts and how the colours contrast with each other, but my piece of work will be symbolising all the pain, traumas and conflicts that leads a person to have a mental health issue.
