EVOLVING PORTRAITITP Thesis Project
2025
Project Description
EVOLVING PORTRAIT is a social experiment in a form of a generative photobooth inspired by the CAPTCHA system, that visualizes the audience's inputs as an ever-evolving face. It takes a picture of you and blends your face with the archive of all the past users, and eventually makes a single evolving portrait. It's a data visualization project in a format of a face, using AI diffusion models and a question that prompts users.
Technical Description
It collects each user's face image and answer data, and converts them into a representing portrait in a receipt format. It then applies the collected data back to the grid, and constantly accumulates the user-generated portraits.
Interaction
- 1. Walk up to the device and answer a set of questions
- 2. The device asks the user to take a headshot
- 3. The user waits and checks the resulting collective portrait
