The installation »Faces in the Mist« consists of a misused facial recognition software the results of which are displayed in a series of portraits of historical figures involved in climate engineering. The facial recognition algorithm is tasked to identify faces in a stream of formless clouds. In its search for identification, the bot appropriates a typical human habit, the drive to make sense of chaos by means of science and imagination. Obsessed with the faces, the bot builds up a personal and esoteric Hall of Fame.
