Tony Oursler 'template/variant/friend/stranger' @ Lisson

This solo exhibition of Tony Oursler – the artist’s first of new work in the UK for over five years – centers around his fascination with the evolution of identity via techniques of facial recognition technology. Oursler explores the nuanced ramifications of these tools increasing ubiquity in daily life. The artist’s interest in the face as the locus of communication and identity, through features, movement and expression, is central to these works. Tony Oursler 'template/variant/friend/stranger' will be on view until March 7, 2015 at Lisson Gallery, 29, Bell Street, London.
