'Your Big Face' is an interactive projection installation. Using a live camera feed, participants' faces are projected onto the canvas of a 12' tall polygonal 3D face. The work raises questions about the digital representation of self, surveillance culture, modern attention spans, and the narcissistic and voyeuristic qualities of modern culture. It is also just really fun.

 

Technical Details:

Your Big Face is made of coroplast, aka plastic cardboard. This durable, waterproof material is also easily machinable. Cut using either a laser cutter or a CNC router, large panels are folded and fastened together. You can make your own! Check out and download our Thingiverse files. Your Big Face is made especially possible by the designs of Kongorilla, and the Open Source community.
