It's not hard to grasp the concept of a faciality machine if you've ever used facetune, put on make-up, done drag. More and more we're tasked with working at our faces on a micro level day to day. We assemble our faces from a palette of faciality traits, capturing the sheen of lip gloss or the suggestive depth of our cheekbones. As Deleuze and Guattari argue, regimes of power provide faces, or least parts of them, for us; by controlling faciality in this way, power can accept and reject, control and arrange different subjects according to its needs1. Is this face a man or a woman? Old or young? Black or white?
