Face of tomorrow
Tuesday, January 16, 2007
A couple of years ago I went to an exhibition at the Science Museum in London called Future Face, which explored ideas of facial identity, reconstruction, and perhaps most enticingly: what makes a face attractive?
One of the most striking exhibits consisted of a set of photos of normal people from Swindon (of all places) which had been superimposed and averaged out, to create two final pictures - an average man and an average girl. I was transfixed by both.
With the help of a nimble search fiend at work, I found the artist’s site so have a look - check out cities from across the world and, given that the project is open source, contribute.
