Abstract

Los sistemas de reconocimiento facial son cada vez más insertados en artefactos cotidianos. Este artículo examina cómo operan a partir de patrones y algoritmos preestablecidos, así como también su utilidad para intereses corporativos y estatales. Adicionalmente, este trabajo sostiene el argumento crítico de "No recognizable pattern", una serie de fotografías que imagina identidades digitales alternativas, a través de retratos con referencias al cyborg, con el fin de generar plantillas biométricas irreconocibles, para burlar los mecanismos de vigilancia que se expanden en el ambiente tecnológico actual.
