This project explores overlapping concepts of human and machine perception. Trained on a database of friends, acquaintances, and (art world) heroes, this computer vision system sees the world only in terms of people I know. As viewers’ faces are tracked in a live video screen, software grafts images from my database over their faces according to who they most resemble–re-editing identity, enabling a state of social play, and producing a novel visualization of a socio-cultural network (my friends, artists, theorists) as an experimental interface device.
