"Mon Visage Quand" is a video piece about the evolving practice of surveillance, categorisation and dehumanisation of peoples.
States try secure digital space in both the interests of safety and to snuff out disobedience. A frog cartoon represents sad netizens, then fascists and then national independence. Border security examine camera rolls for photoshops of politicians. Governments impose age restrictions on internet use, but children bypass it by submitting a photo of a video game character.
Digital footprint becomes mythology as activists, representatives, mass murderers and thought leaders have their social media accounts combed or carefully constructed to be dissected or used to disseminate their manifesto become meme. aMon Visage Quand" is a video piece about the evolving practice of surveillance, categorisation and dehumanisation of peoples.

The online body is an amorphous vessel, it masks its intent through obfuscation, alias and deception but also due to its very intersectional nature. The user cannot be simply defined and thus can be marked hero, villain, miscreant and victim practically within the same sentence.
How do you censor a feed if you cannot identify the bad pixels? What are bad pixels? Like a snake the disobedient online body sheds its skin and takes on new form, slinking further into the jungle.
