The resulting panorama is then displayed on five screens on a wall. Software filters the video captured by the cameras to show only one person\u2019s face on each screen. The footage of each person loops, only being replaced once a new person stands in front of one of the cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The software demographically profiles these five people according to their age and gender and adds subtitles from corresponding Facebook status updates. For example, a 25-year-old male in the gallery is conjoined with text from a 25-year-old male on Facebook. The status updates function independently for each individual person, yet also work together as a narrative of five chunks of text representing the five demographics shown on the screens. Each time a new person enters the picture, the narrative is reconfigured without compromising the narrative across the five screens. Hence viewers find themselves in spatial and narrative dialogue\/contact with four other previous occupants of the gallery, unable to remove themselves from scrutiny until somebody else puts themselves on display.<\/p>\n<p><em>Panoptic Panorama #2<\/em> juxtaposes the oppressive qualities of centralized control\u2014from surveillance to profiling\u2014with the persistent urge to broadcast oneself through status updates, and explores the resulting narrative (im)possibilities.<\/p>\n<\/tr>\n<td valign = \"top\"><strong>Credits:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>With thanks to DXARTS, Yi Ding, James Hughes, Jimmy Johnson, John Robinson and Reid Swanson.<br \/>\n<\/tr>\n<td valign = \"top\"><strong>Technical:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Computer vision algorithms built in OpenFrameworks and OpenCV.
