Landmarks




I am plagued by a question.












As a trans person, is it better to be seen accurately?




Or not seen at all...












How does the algorithm see me? How does it guess what I'm feeling?




Is there such a thing as a neutral expression? Can it tell the difference between a smile caused by a joke and one that masks rage?




Do I want it to be able to tell the difference?




Animated loop with a grey background and a wireframe face with cyan lines and magenta points plus emotion and gender labels moving back and forth.








To be unknowable to a system may be as liberating as it is dangerous.
