We register online on a large scale. Through the surface, built by the digital security company WEB-ID, one's relation to the world is shifting. Inside this innovative new space of identification, the subject is required to reveal herself to the camera. In a few simple steps, she would be identified and recorded with the relevant papers. As the company, web-id, advocate, mobile video identification is the future of bureaucracy. It has already been adopted as a part of a new policy vs the “refugee crisis” in Germany and is considered as a possible reform Europe-wide. “Face to Face” video chat brings to experience background and foreground tension where the other person often makes me forget, overshadow the medium, space, conditions, and magnitude of data fields. All those behind the one to another relation. Nevertheless, in the center is a cyborg’s portrait. Registered, recognized and automated. This work is focused on the portraits of today.
