Took “FaceTime” Literally

The South Korean illusionist extraordinaire, Dain Yoon, brings new meaning to “FaceTime” with this work. Painting her face to resemble overlapping screens of a video call, she captures the fragmented, always-on nature of our digital lives. Each “screen” holds a different expression, offering a kaleidoscope of human emotion—all on a single canvas.

What’s the dial-in code to understand our relationship with technology? Dain might just have it. Her art serves as a wry commentary on how even our most intimate interactions are mediated through pixels and bandwidth. If technology’s got you feeling like you’re in a hall of mirrors, Dain is the master illusionist who makes sure you see it.
