Identity Theft is software which uses a fun and oddly discombobulating effect to bring up issues of data security and the fluidity of identity in information networks. Recalling omnipresent surveillance networks ,and the “being-other†of virtual avatars, this software demonstrates the ease with which the identity or life information of one person can be transferred to another.
Two things set this early piece of face swapping: the variety of animated faces that were swapped out, and the software tracked each face so it kept its new identity.
