"faces" is an interactive project which allows users to construct a face by combining three different images into a photographic composite. The variation in types of faces that are shown is completely arbitrary; they can appear in a linear fashion or at random. As the user scrolls through the various photographic options, the words which comprise the captions are changed. As a result, the appearance or erasure of different facial components sometimes leads to the generation of incomprehensible captions. This work is meant to be a play on the concept of the (collective) "Other," ultimately allowing the user (or "artist") to generate their ideal subject from the discrete elements of different individuals.
ideal: model designed by the artist.
