I am fully engrossed with the Weird Faces Study by mokafolio, also known as Matthias Dörfelt.
Since I live with a programmer, I find that art and programming have a lot in common, even when the results are not as visual and organic. These computer generated faces are unique, quirky and truly show the intersection of art and technology.
Computer generated images have a certain aesthetics to them that make them immediately recognizable as such by the trained eye. Weird Faces Study is an attempt to combine my old interest in illustration with programing, to create something procedural that has a truly individual artistic touch to it and is not instantly recognizable as a generative art piece. Even though, the faces look hand-drawn, they are entirely expressed by algorithmic rules. Each face is random, each face is unique. Still, they look similar to my actual hand drawn faces.
