15 minutes, anonymous

I ran a face detection algorithm over a large pile of popular pictures: actors, actresses, politicians, all the faces the web keeps recycling. Instead of recognizing them, the algorithm dissolved them. The more famous the face, the more pixelated, anonymous and abstract it came back.

I selected the results and put them together in a fifteen minutes long slideshow, plus a few poster prints. Warhol promised everyone fifteen minutes of fame. Here everyone gets fifteen minutes of the exact opposite.

READ ME BY EMAIL

An email that arrives now and then, from a server out in the bushes. Works, shows, texts, and whatever the feed has no room for. Mostly in Italian. If it doesn't arrive, blame me. No spam. I haven't got enough material even for that.

Fatto. Ti abbiamo mandato un link magico via email: apri la casella e clicca per completare l’iscrizione.
