Sensible Data by Martin Hertig, is a test: a test of how much you might be willing to give away about yourself in exchange for a little fun.

On the surface it seems harmless enough. You can exchange a photograph of yourself for a line drawing portrait; an email for an assessment of your mood, age, gender and beauty; press a button to get a stamp of approval. It all gets assembled into a fun-looking identity card. It’s cute.

They’re silly little gimmicks, of course — but they’re also not dissimilar to techniques used all the time online to gather things such as your likeness and email address (and, unnervingly in the art installation, your fingerprint, too). Indeed, when the fun at the table is over, you receive an email containing the fingerprint, photo and email of someone else who’s already inadvertently handed their personal data over to the installation.
