Facehawk

This is seriously cool.  Facehawk does what it says on the cover, as were.  It takes your Facebook profile, blows it up and makes it in to a hawk – you can see what became of my profile above.  It is the brainchild of Rajeev Basu who created it for Big Data and their track Dangerous.  Big Data makes music about voyeurism in the digital age – and age of watching while being watched, of recording and tracking.  

Follow this link to the website.  You will connect with Facebook and your hawk is created in real-time in your browser – Google Chrome is recommended.  It is made up of your photos and your status updates from when you first connected with Facebook and serves as a reminder of just how much data you put online…  Here’s a video if you would like a more visual explanation!
