The digital transformation means a more precise, detailed and increasingly individual resolution of human existence. Translated into binary data, machines answer complex questions unambiguously with 1 or 0. Humans cannot directly comprehend this invisible data processing, but the answers provide supposed clarity in the diffuse reality.

Analysis and monitoring by cameras are supposed to provide security against the unclear. However, under this sense of observation, new doubts and suspicions arise. The image of man remains ambiguous. But can man still endure ambiguity in this highly resolved world? And what role does he play — in this world determined by artificial clarity?
