This surreal animation, the inaugural product of a digital “Facerator” machine that I’ve invented, randomly combines 400 separate segments of Travis Kalanick portraits into new faces that morph continuously. The Facerator raises questions of identity and challenges the many faces worn by the powerful executives of tech. Does success corrupt and disintegrate the self? What’s behind the glowing, idealistic fronts of Kalanick and other tech luminaries? How many facades of tech leaders and companies have we seen over the years? Are any of them real? What happens if we take them apart? And can we trust them with all that power?
