How have new media and digital technologies changed the way we think about portraiture, identity and faces? What new forms of audience engagement and interaction are made possible by these new technologies?

Face to Face explores new forms of portraiture that incorporate a variety of different technologies from digital prints to single channel digital video and interactive installations.

Face to Face toured Australia in 2010 as part of d/Lux/MediaArts's d/Tour program, and is currently touring Asia in partnership with Asialink. Prime Minister Julia Gillard opens Face to Face in Seoul as part of the “Korea-Australia Exchange Exhibition: Australia Digital Urban Portraits”. The exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of Korea-Australia diplomatic relations.
