  • In a world where fortunes are sought through data-mining vast information repositories, the computer is
    our indispensable but far from infallible assistant. Personas demonstrates the computer's uncanny insights
    and its inadvertent errors, such as the mischaracterizations caused by the inability to separate data from
    multiple owners of the same name. It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world,
    where digital histories are as important if not more important than oral histories, and computational methods
    of condensing our digital traces are opaque and socially ignorant.
