"My (non)Idnentity"
Gelatin, color transparencies
Diameter 5 inches
2003
I am interested in the safeguards that government and private
individuals install to protect their and other�s identities.
However, all this technology can be fooled by very simple means.
A Japanese mathematician, Tsutomu Matsumoto, used gelatine to
fool eleven commercially available fingerprint biometric systems.
The two disks are made of gelatine. Suspended in the gelatine are
two images. One is my fingerprint, and the other is a standard
fingerprint chart.
