During the creation of “A Dangerous Figure”, I collected audio, visual and qualitative data via mobile phone apps. Simultaneous to this, I was using my mobile phone to 3D scan the young unemployed to merge into three-dimensional meshes. I then used a 9-axis CNC to carve this and cast it from bronze as a permanent monument to the neglected young unemployed.  

“A Dangerous Figure” was the disembodied face of the young unemployed, whereas “Hoods” would become the faceless body – both created from mobile phones by the mass public.
