Cursor (mouse/touch) over-and-off Option: Be sure to activate the FIRST LETTER OF EACH GRID SECTION   <--Tip:
  iPad/Tablet Tips: Portrait View->Activate Grid Images->Off grid two-finger expand the grid fully to sides->

1. Two-finger double tap any grid square to freeze image-->take photo snap ("home"+"on-off power" button)

2. As in 1. above, only tap and drag one finger anywhere in free space below grid to freeze image-->take photo

3. As in 2. above, only tap and drag and spread two fingers to freeze, then tap with another finger to advance image-->take photo!

Tips work differently in different browsers (Safari, by far, the best)...most will freeze the image with a two-finger spread.

NOTE: Depending on your internet connection, you may have to make 2-4 grid rectangles (i.e. corners) static images for the other animation grids to go at full speed.

Your sFace Or Mine? Anonymity

With whole parts of the brain dedicated to facial recognition, it is hardly surprising that the face…my sFace, their sFace, Your sFace…perhaps the most complicated container in existence…reveals, conceals, shows, expresses, denies and lies that which lies on the other side…on the inside, that is.

This morphing matrix of the dreamer inside must…like the bending tree in the wind…maintain its balance.

That’s a balance between giving in to the deformations of the wind, and, that stoic architectural base that provides for the brains facade.

That your very survival may fulcrum on that balance only reinforces your innate prejudices of sFaces.

Ah! But some say the architecture of Your sFace…as form follows function…is simply housing the portals of your senses…as, indeed, they are. And yet, this arrangement of form falls woefully short in accounting for the bias of sFace.

So let’s separate this out. The bias is in the brain, not in the sFace. The sFace flows as the brain blows. The sFace is beautiful. Your sFace Or Mine? Anonymity is dedicated to the notion that all sFaces are beautiful…and may the neural network follow.

Statement & Bio                             










Original version: Your sFace or Mine?                             
original Your sFace or Mine (2004) Statement & Bio                             

Credits: The image of the idealized face with the double pentagon overlay is borrowed                               
and used with permission from the gracious Scott Billups (image is copyrighted 2004, Scott Billups).                              
See the May 2004 issue of Computer Graphics World for the full article on his work in this area                               
and visit his website PixelMonger to view his enormous range of creativity.                               
The concentric series of double pentagons defines not only the form and esthetic of our face, indeed our whole body,                               
it defines the actual form and esthetic of the DNA double-helix molecule (axial view) itself.                              
See my earlier works on the Geometry of DNA (axial view) graphics                               
and the white papers which support them:                              
"Pattern in Number (PIN)",                               
the "Geometry of DNA (GoDNA)",                               
and the "Structure and Chemistry of DNA (SCoDNA)"                              
for the seemingly uncanny, but ultimately holistic parallel.                              
For a light-hearted romp & interactive graphics on GoDNA see the related net.art project "Hey!Ufunk'nwithmyDNA?"                      

 

OK for children eight (8) years and older.

*Correcting the Web Page Display (if needed)               
This website was designed to be optimized for:               
---800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 screen resolution          
---15-20" monitor               
---TEXT SIZE set at "Medium"(default)                
Decreasing the TEXT SIZE to "Smaller" or "Smallest"                
corrects most spacing artifacts induced by higher resolutions.               
               
There should be NO SPACES between the image squares...see examples above

Usage: Private, non-commercial use of any image above...in part, in whole or as a composite...is permitted.                       
Commercial use is not.                           
This is a tiered interactive net.art project. From Scott Billups original image and idea,                       
I have overlayed my own images and ideas, manipulating them to form some 32 new images                       
which have been broken up into a grid of some 30 partial images which you may now recombine                       
into any one of the gazillion possible combinations (more possibilities than there are people on earth).                       
While you can treat each partial image as a color-tone-texture option on your human face palette                       
to create your own unique facial design...which you can capture, print and/or post to the web...                      
please credit the process to Reginald Brooks, Brooks Design at www.brooksdesign-cg.com .                       
Credit to the original idealized face and permission to use such image should be directed to Scott Billups (see above).
