Just an FYI on this. An Italian bank I am with has a registration process that requires close up shots of your face and eyes via a webcam. This is all done remotely. I felt it was overkill. And really is not clear to me why it is necessary.
I don't like organisations having my bio-data. In artworks I made with Angela Weyersberg we explored the *decline of the signature *-- the point about the signature is it is (or was) a unique expression of a person that is created by them. It used to be important. Its value is now very degraded. The divergence from expressive forms of identity towards somatic static markers is troubling. It has hardly examined consequences.
