A collection of art experiments by Robert Woodley and Adelheid Mers that explores the use of facial recognition technology.
The Synth Face is a face plucked from the 60-dimensional Face Field. Use the sliders to navigate this field and retrieve other faces from its depth. Paint a face with the 60 brushes at your disposal.
The Anti Face (middle GIF)
The Anti Face is face recognition turned upside-down. After looking at an image, it creates a face as different from it as possible. It might change gender, age, expression.
The Face Spectrum (bottom GIF)
The Face Spectrum uses face recognition software to join rather than single out. It sorts all the faces in our database by their position in face space, by how similar they are in other words.
As the density of real faces in the Face Field increases the impact has improved and the spectrum of human faces emerges. This will only improve over time as people use the app to populate the database.
If you want to contribute your face to the database (and find your own Anti Face), you can use the Anti Face iOS app (which you can find here).
Here is just a selection of the experiments - if you want to find out more you can go to Robert’s website here
