In today's data-driven society, individuals carrying smartphones and interacting with social media networks have agreed, often without conscious consideration, to policies that grant service providers explicit rights to harvest and utilize personal data on a massive scale. These include tech giants like Google and Facebook that offer "free" services for a value exchange of our data.

HOW MUCH OF OURSELVES DO WE UNKNOWINGLY REVEAL?

By participating in this hyper-connected society while having little to no control of our digital data production, how much of ourselves do we unknowingly reveal? To what degree does the aggregated metadata collected from us paint an accurate portrait of who we are? What aspects of our individuality is reflected in this portrait?

X.pose is an exploration of these questions. Since we have already ceded control of our digital data emissions, x.pose goes a step further to broadcast the wearer's data for anyone to see.
