Face Cages (wearing a biometric cage)

Brief description

Four queer artists are wearing different industry standard biometric facial metrics diagrams made out of metal. The metal biometrics form a cage covering the artists face who wears it in a video performance. The coldness of the metal, the with of the mask and the cage structure, demonstrates the violence of biometrics especially how it is experienced by already marginalized populations.
