Interactive Monument in Ohio Lets Visitors Become the Face

A towering interactive sculpture titled 'As We Are' by local artist Matthew Mohr has been permanently installed at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Ohio. The four-meter-tall head is composed of shaped LED screens that display 3D portraits of visitors. Participants enter a photo booth behind the sculpture to have their face scanned, which then appears on the monument. Mohr describes the work as exploring 'the relationship between the self and its representation, asking the subject of the portrait to reconsider the theme of presence through enlargement.' The project aims to entertain while sparking discussion about social media, diversity, and public art dynamics. The sculpture has gained popularity on social networks, with users sharing 'double selfies' under the hashtag #asweare.
