《GeN》為湯尼‧奧斯勒的臉部辨識系列作品之一，其關注社群媒體大數據的增長和公私部門監控程式，受到臉部識別技術和演算法的啟發，將數位化面部特徵及其設計和演算法視覺化，混合了不同五官，拼組成新的臉孔。
In this new body of work, the artist focuses on the proliferation of big data and surveillance programs, but is particularly interested in the ramifications of facial recognition technology. This increasingly ubiquitous tool is used across public, private, and government sectors track and identify facial features, thereby allowing computers, for the first time, to achieve their own "vision" of us. These "data portraits" underscore Oursler's uneasy relationship with technology, surveillance, and all manners of data tracking. The artworks seem to gaze at the viewer, evoking the larger cultural question of who is watching whom.
