“They stole my face,” shouts a ten-year-old boy into a microphone, before stomping away.
We are in the Rafael Lozano-Hemmer exhibition Atmospheric Memory at the Powerhouse in Sydney. The boy’s photograph was taken as soon as he entered the exhibition and then publicly projected onto his shadow.
Like the social media it replicates, the exhibition content is a product of its users – which can feel like theft.
