EUFACETS aims at maximising the value of the ERC Consolidator Project FACETS by developing a family-oriented social network app based on visage. Some faces were excluded from the forced digitalization of all faces due to the increasing digitalisation of our lives, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic: those of the elders. The pandemic was just underlining an already existing issue: face-based social networks have been designed by young people for young people. They focus on connecting people who are distant in space but fail to connect people who are distant in time. They help individuals treasure and share their own memories, those attached to digital pictures and selfies, yet they are oblivious of memories that are enshrined in pre-digital photographs. EUFACETS aims to alleviate this issue by developing an app establishing a new family-oriented social network based on visage. Through the app, members of extended families will be able to digitalize analogic pictures, send it in this digital form to the elder, who will then be able to tell a story about the picture; the story will be made available to the family, which will be able to listen to it and to integrate it with secondary narratives; finally, through facial recognition and artificial intelligence, the app will suggest automatic identification of visages photographed in subsequent pictures and facilitate the reconstruction of the narrative. The solution will grow around the elders, with the only purpose of reconnecting them with their distant relatives, friends, and acquaintances, as well as with the pre-digital past of their visage. This is done without any logics of commodification and control, standardization and commercial exploitation underlying existing face-based digital platforms.
