NeORIZON by Maurice Benayoun
Shanghai 2008.
Benayoun creates an ‘urban installation’ of ID worms which take the photo of each person who puts their head to the viewer. The ID worms then convert each person into a QR code (a “quick response” two dimensional barcode which allows the contents to be decoded at high speed.) These ID images can be found again on the internet, but are also displayed on a large screen in the city as an “ID city” - the ID images accumulate into stacks which resemble skyscrapers.
