Identidades faciales futuras en el metaverso

Abstract

The article explores the future of facial identities in the context of the metaverse. It analyzes how the relationship between face and future, marked by uncertainty and freedom, could be transformed by technological advances that threaten to turn the face into a moldable and appropriable digital interface. Through a semiotic reflection, the text addresses the risks of this transition, such as the loss of uniqueness and autonomy of the face. It also examines how facial identities could evolve in a virtual environment. Using examples from recent literature and empirical cases of digital design, it concludes with philosophical proposals on the preservation of freedom and uniqueness in the human face, even in a digitized scenario.
