Pathos #40/153

heavy/illuminated is a series of works by ADHD (AKA Space Case) that explore the theme of overcoming depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness especially during the colder/darker months of the year. More broadly the work relates to healing our own pain and becoming one's own source of light & or love. 
Visually this body of work is unique for the artist because it is the first time both representational & pure abstract works have been explored within the same series.

Digital Collage  |  2025  |  Inset  |  AOTM AiR IV

AI-powered facial recognition technology is revolutionizing marketing by enabling personalized and hyper-targeted campaigns, enhancing customer experiences, and providing valuable market insights. By analyzing facial features, expressions, and demographics, marketers can tailor advertisements, promotions, and even in-store experiences to resonate with specific consumer profiles, leading to increased engagement and sales.

Simultaneously this same exact technology is being utilized by law enforcement, militaries and government regimes worldwide for mass surveillance and biometric gating. The tech is employed for various purposes like tracking criminals, tracking and targeting alleged enemies, monitoring ethnic minorities, monitoring dissenters, border crossings and even surveilling citizens' emotions in the workplace. This technology is integrated into vast networks of surveillance cameras and used by various government agencies and private companies.

The overlap of state sponsored violence and surveillance driven capitalism might seem like a dark irony but is it actually just another case of saying the quiet part out loud? Our economies are driven by innovation and labor, taxes are paid which then fund the government's military spending and occupational/imperialistic/oppressive force is employed onto citizen civilians in order to expand power structures and protect the very markets that pay for them.  What is revealed is a never ending feedback loop of consumption and domination that begins and ends with the expressions of basic human emotion interpreted by machine.

The following is a conversation with Chat GPT which informed the creation of this collage.

Q: What are the connections between government surveillance and consumer behavior in regards to facial recognition?

GPT:  1. Online Facial Recognition and Behavioral Profiling
• When you shop online, especially on big platforms (Amazon, Instagram shops, etc.), facial recognition can be used through:
• Your webcam (if permissions are granted — or exploited).
• Uploaded selfies, profile pics, or live video features.
• Your emotional reactions, eye movements, and micro-expressions can be passively monitored or inferred.
• Your shopping habits, likes, and social media activity are combined with this biometric data to build a behavioral profile: what you like, what you fear, what excites you, how you act under stress.

2. Data Brokers and Government Access
• Your behavioral and biometric data doesn’t just stay with the companies.
• It gets sold to data brokers — massive shadow companies that package and resell personal information to:
• Marketers
• Private security firms
• Insurance companies
• Law enforcement and intelligence agencies (who often buy data they legally can’t collect themselves without a warrant).

This means your online shopping behavior becomes part of your “file” — even if you’ve done nothing illegal.

3. Facial Recognition at Public Protests
• If you attend a protest, facial recognition cameras (sometimes handheld, sometimes hidden, often attached to police drones) scan the crowd.
• Your face is matched against massive commercial and government databases — including ones populated by your online activity.
• If your behavioral profile suggests you’re “at risk” of being disruptive (based on past purchases, political posts, emotional indicators from facial scanning, etc.), you could be:
• Flagged for further monitoring.
• Preemptively targeted by law enforcement (phone tapping, house visits).
• Added to watchlists without ever committing a crime.

Facial recognition turns your identity and emotions into a product — and a tool of control — at the same time. Buying sneakers online and attending a protest could both end up in the same database — and be used to justify government action against you later.

"You have created a monster and it will destroy you". Garrett Fort

I made (or more aptly I paid a company to let me make) a hyperrealistic, scriptable AI avatar of myself to see how it would make me feel. It's been about a month since the world gave birth to this abomination and I suppose what's somewhat surprising is that it made me feel very little at first until I actually reflected on the idea of sharing the videos. In terms of the emotional impact it felt identical to sharing selfies... I am not really one to show my face all that much online. I am not anon by any means nor will I shy away from being on a friend's video podcast here and there but selfies are usually reserved for when I want to get people to care about something important. When I do post one, I almost always feel a horrible wave of guilt, shame, vulnerability and self consciousness. I think it's a mixture of insecurity, body dysmorphia, neurodivergent thought patterns and being somewhat naturally shy. But anyway, thinking of these images going out there felt like they were just literally images of me and well that is strange because IT IS NOT ME, I am not that thing, it isn't real... or is it? But then I kept thinking about how it was generated from me, it couldn't exist WITHOUT ME... it is A SIMULATION of me... perhaps it is an extension of me? I disavow. I DISAVOW. 

The new ease at which counterfeit images and even video with voice can be produced has made me reexamine what I think of as a portrait now... a portrayal....and well also what I think of as a selfie. A self....eeeeeeee..... I see selves as collections, some more curated than others. A collection of experiences, interpretations, stories, etc. So some likeness of that self.... photographically or POST photographically is more and more like the cover of a folder. A container.A Meat Suit. A Pixel Suit? So I decided that I want my self portrait to be more of a reflection of those feelings, a collection of things more than a simple hyperreal image. I hate instagram but damn I love a good meme or photo dump. The slider is such a fucking cool invention. I love the overhang of multiple pieces of media working together to send a singular yet somewhat undecipherable message. 

Mid assemblage I thought of Mike Kelley. Specifically his 1993 exhibition,, 'The Uncanny', and essay of the same name. Not just because the art-as-curation narrative was so central to it but because it was fixated on the strangeness of the inanimate familiar... "consisting of sculptures, objects and images that he found 'creepy', with “an ‘uncanny’ aura about them. The majority were life-sized polychrome models of the human body in whole or part.  This accorded with ‘scary’ experiences of my own involving figurative sculptures, particularly one winter in my early teens when I was repeatedly surprised and slightly unnerved by a dishevelled Guy Fawkes [shout out LB] that we had propped in a living room chair awaiting the evening’s bonfire.' (Joanka Zielinska , The End Of Collection)  But then it got weirder because I was reminded that 'The Uncanny' was born out of work Kelley did in 1991 for a Jeffrey Deitch show synchronistically called 'Post Human'. 30+ years later here I am thinking of Kelley and Deitch making a work for a show entitled 'Post (Human?) Portrait'.  Surely if he was alive today, AI Avatars would now join some metaphysical tier within the ranks of Kelley's medical models, taxidermy, preserved human parts, dolls. life masks, statues and other uncanny containers.

 It eventually occured to me that artists, along with the general public have been dealing with the anxiety and anticipation of this very moment for as long as I have been alive. As we've been savoring kisses, having birthday parties, going to concerts, making paintings, flying around the world, working our jobs, and so on... we've all also been waiting for something that looks (ALMOST) exactly like us to show up one day and come take our place... for better or for worse. I suppose I feel it to be worse but the optimist wants to help make it for the better. In a way, this is me attempting to feed or train the nuanced,ineffable,beautiful pain & joy of my human experience into this beast, in hopes that maybe some of the good stuff can get passed on.  

Since I was in an adventurous mood I decided to try a generative music tool and take this whole replacing myself thing a step further… I prompted “something that sounds like _______” and entered my band & solo project and just wow… it literally sounded like our unreleased demos but totally novel somehow. I messed around with rearranging and adding to the outputs a little bit and was quite taken off guard by the results, You can hear 5 examples in the audio player. The way I see it, I’m as good as replaced.
