UNMASKED is the debut learning experience presented by The Cultural Index. The first of many to come, UNMASKED is an online exhibition exploring the supernatural power of the face in a technocentric world. Will avatars, facial recognition and deepfake technology lead to the damnation or salvation of identity? Think: An eerily life like 3D host, immersive narrative driven soundscapes, 3D artefacts and artworks explained in easily digestible content.
Each week your host lead you into a new reality exploring the fascinating relationship between our face and the world. Sign-up to get notified of each release.
