Sam Oliver: Quantified Self Portrait

Quantified Self Portrait

Sam Oliver

"Quantified Self Portrait" explores the relationship between our identity and the data we produce. The work juxtaposes a slowly degrading bust of the artist's likeness sculpted from ink with a growing collection of the artist's printed internet history. Each time the artist makes a search, clicks a link, or loads a page, the bust is sprayed with water, melting it further, and the printer fed by the resulting pool of ink then prints the search results.
