DATA OF BIOMETRICS
WHAT?
Inspired by the growing entanglement of data in our daily life, I collaborated with a data analyst to translate the texture of a fingerprint into a unique key recognizable by computers.
HOW?
We extracted a source code from the lines and minutia of a finger. After that, we converted the source code into binary code that was then used as a guide to producing a unique weaving pattern,
