 ==INcompletUS==
 Carrying forward inspiration from the posthuman activity and moving away from letting the tool define the outcome, we thought of a narrative where data will be at the center of everything to such an extent that human interaction is stunted as a farce for environmental purposes. Every government is a brand publisher and every individual is a brand in himself. Communication is completely visual but the five senses have been boiled down to receiving visual input. AR is the new vision and all are beautifully hollywoodized versions of the data they consume on a daily basic. It is partly a commentary on over consumption of media, its numbing effect and the blurred boundary between qualitative visuals and the quantitative numbers behind them.
 The concept examples were done in a form of combining advertisements and generative art with branding that suggested ulterior motives:

		+	[https://vimeo.com/212260522 Project INcompletUS Concept]:<br>
		+	This video gives an overview of the concept of Project INcompletUS. In a datacentric universe, different communicators
		+	distribute peoples' information visually, nullifying any need for conversation. The system modifies perception of users to
		+	'hollywoodize' life in a way.<br><br>
		+
		+	[https://vimeo.com/212260035 INcompletUS]:<br>
		+	INcompletUS is a fictional organization which caters to augmenting humans in a way that lets them know everything about
		+	each other beforehand. The elimination of talk and provisions for overcunsumption of media creates a 'social' fabric of apathy
		+	and stagnation. By taking away all purpose through its eyewash techniques of visual data, it makes everyone feel complete
		+	when they aren't.
		+
		+	[https://vimeo.com/212262753 Self Own]:<br>
		+	Self-own is a fictional government branch that licenses every 'customer' as a brand. Every government is akin to a media
		+	production house delivering exclusive content to its 'dreamers'. To secure this exclusivity, it grants them dynamic IDs which can
		+	interact within a domain only. People can interact with third-party government profiles but cannot extract content from them.
		+	The trade is only in the form of edited dreams, which keep the media business runnning and the people apathetic.
		+	(The 'arc-code' was made in Processing)
		+
		+	[https://vimeo.com/212261087 TEST-BUDS ]:<br>
		+	TEST-BUDS is a fictional vegetable vendor that creates fractal food. Popularly, a cauliflower is believed to correspond to a
		+	fractal. Here, it is the other way round- vegetables are purposefully grown in an identifiable fractal so data can be easily
		+	gathered regarding public consumption of the same. This can be further tweaked to push only those vegetables that nourish
		+	the body and make it more aesthetic (and easily augment it for virtual viewing).
		+	(The hexagonal visual was made in Processing and is inspired from the categorization of taste in six values including
		+	astringency).

	We visualised the intersection to be a dystopian age where every individual is a brand by 'it'self and is completely self sufficient for survival. The image shows an example of the 'logo ID' of an individual. It would consist of a unique visual as well as a different bar code that is recognized by others and directly installs that brand's unique language into the viewer's perception. These IDs are produced by different private governments who are 'publishers'. They also tailor sensory hacks which 'Hollywood'izes the world in different styles. So, every person sees everything as beautiful through his branded vision.
