London-based artist Mark Farid explores Poisonous Antidote in an online gallery (Gazell.io) where he offers up his various online presences as 24-hour public portraits over the course of 31 days. He uses data from emails, text messages, phone calls, Skype conversations, and other platforms are then used as fodder for an abstract, ever-evolving 3D-printed sculpture made of four unique parts, each portraying a week of Farid’s life. In his project, he focused on how ones internet personality is established in the form of passwords and other inputs that one might have on the internet about themselves.

From Farid himself, “I’m interested to see how I self-censor and how I change my actions because everything is being broadcast live,” says Farid. “Will I stop saying certain things to certain people? Will I try to look more interesting and fun, so will I go on different websites?”

As his visualization, Farid decided to  3D print the data that he gathered into a solid object, almost like a graph.
