Reface [Portrait Sequencer] (2007, with Zachary Lieberman) is a surreal video mash-up that composes endless admixtures of the personalities and genetic traits of its visitors. The installation records and dynamically remixes brief video slices of its viewers’ mouths, eyes and brows. The resulting kinetic portraiture maintains a sense of humour and narrative invention while creating a “generative group portrait” of the people in the project’s locale.

Levin’s work has been exhibited, among many other venues, at the New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York), The 2004 Whitney Biennial (New York), Ars Electronica (Linz), ICC (Tokyo), ZKM (Karlsruhe).
