FacesOfThe.com, a product of Michael Silber, an artist and technology enthusiast, is a cutting-edge modern art project. This innovative initiative originated during Silber’s tenure at the University of Maryland College Park. In 2005, while enrolled in a basic Photoshop class, he was given an assignment that sparked the creation of this unique project.

The assignment drew inspiration from a captivating story about a man who, for an entire year, captured a daily photo outside his window at the same time of day. The project’s scientific foundation emphasized a constant (time and composition) and a variable (weather and earth rotation). This approach became the driving force behind Michael’s class project and eventually led to the birth of FacesOfThe.com.

Michael employed the trendy pixel stretch technique in Photoshop, strategically incorporating factors such as gender, age, and ethnicity to create the desired variable. This method resulted in the captivating and dynamic art showcased on FacesOfThe.com, making it a remarkable intersection of art and technology. Explore this groundbreaking project for a unique and immersive artistic experience.

The results of this methodology provide a natural and familiar look to each piece. Once you see it or understand that it is a human face the familiarity of each person will shine though, especially if you personally know the person being depicted.
