ACC-R

ACC-R is an experimental AI model agency and speculative design project that examines what happens when artificial intelligence enters the representational systems traditionally reserved for human identity. This project creates and manages a growing roster of AI-generated models. These are not real people. They are synthetic constructs produced through generative image systems, entered into a formal registry, each model exists as a replica: a stand-in for something that was never there to begin with. Positioned within the wider Present Standards research projects this identity introduces a distinct visual deviation from our house style through its use of iPhone facial recognition interfaces. Borrowed from the familiar graphical language of the camera system, these framing devices and detection markers are repurposed as identity structures. This subtle intervention gives the project a unique character, while directly reinforcing its underlying themes of human replication, surveillance, and the translation of identity into data.
