Inspiration

Barbara Kruger, an American Conceptual Artist, addresses issues like power, identity, consumerism and sexuality, etc. She is well known for her visual form - vivid or lithographical image with white Helvetica/Futura typography in red box. After seeing her work in Arte Biennale 2022 in Venice, Italy, I decided to make an interactive artwork that urges people to look around surroundings and be alert, just like Kruger’s works.

Machine Learning and Technologies

With the normalized (irrelevant from position or scale of face) raw face vertices value from FaceOSC, the Wekinator model determines which direction the viewer is looking (left / center / right). This ML decision, along with the face position and scale values from FaceOSC is sent to processing canvas to create different images. (Details can be seen at the document below.)
