Event Details

We are our faces. They are a canvas for human emotion and expression. An invitation to connect.

Mutual States explores this idea, putting the complexities of emotion and the self on full display. Using an arresting combination of live footage, digital effects, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), watch as several real faces morph, shift and unify. Based on portraits of a diverse range of people, the real and digital converge in this magnified look at the human face, emotion and individuality.

Mutual States invites you to stare into the eyes of these shifting faces and see the patterns teased out by AI. Walk away having seen first-hand that despite our differences, we are all the same.
