In Spirit Is a Bone, artist team Broomberg and Chanarin coopted a facial-recognition system recently developed in Moscow for public security and border-control surveillance in order to create their own taxonomy of people in contemporary Russia. The low-resolution and fragmented portraits they produced were generated by a machine, without cooperation from the subjects.
