The Biometric Mirror is a suite of provocative interactive systems that expose how AI sees, classifies, and judges us. By turning your data into instant labels, scores, or predictions, it sparks reflection on bias, fairness, and accountability in automated decision-making.

Why it matters
AI is already used to decide who gets a loan, a job, or even parole. These systems claim to be objective, yet they often replicate (or amplify) the biases of their designers and datasets. The Biometric Mirror challenges this myth of neutrality, confronting us with a simple but urgent question: Should we trust machines to define who we are?

The experience
Through playful yet confronting installations, participants watch themselves being assessed in real-time by AI systems that claim to measure traits like attractiveness, competence, trustworthiness, yes, even their preferred music genre. This immediate feedback (part game, part warning) forces us to reflect on how it feels to be judged by an algorithm.

Public impact
By making algorithmic processes visible and tangible, the Biometric Mirror empowers audiences to take part in the debate about the role of AI in society. It sparks conversation, fuels public awareness, and highlights the stakes of letting automated systems influence critical human decisions.

The bigger picture
At its core, the Biometric Mirror is not just about technology. It’s about values, fairness, and accountability. It asks: if AI systems are shaping our futures, who gets to design them, and who bears the risks when they get it wrong?
