In 2021 Politecnico di Milano implemented the two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as two-step verification, for accessing Online Services. Since then, whenever I needed to access the university portal, I had to generate a temporary six-factor code using the PosteID app to confirm my identity to my computer.
Metaphor used:
The project aims to illustrate the interdependence between humanity and technology. A canvas, painted with the color of each code, symbolizes the barrier between the individual and the machine, highlighting how technology has become an intrinsic part of everyday life.
Intended Meaning:
We depend on technology to the point that we need to validate ourselves to a machine.
