Citizen // 01 is the conceptual idea of the perfect citizen from point of view of power. It negotiates the “freedom of speech” right and how the system tend to create replicas of the same voices.

The Concept confronts the spectator free will attaching virtually surgical stitches over their mouth. Then their faces is projected on cartoon boxes stacked in mass production installation.

Citizen // 01 is an interactive installation. It puts the spectator in a situation that confronts his free will. The first part of the installation is a LCD screen with a HD camera showing a reflected image of the spectator. Based on Face detection technology the system detects the face and overlay surgical stitches over the mouth. (see illustrations in next slides)
