Face recognition glitches inspired by the artist

The face recognition program from the Lithuanian company Neurotechnology scanned more than two million photos on Flickr. This strange task was given to her by the American artist Ethan Ham - he wanted to find all the pictures that even remotely resemble his own face, let it be a flower or a lot of excrement. To expand the range, the artist indicated in the program settings the minimum accuracy of the search. The results of the unique project “Self-portrait” are published as a rare art album , accompanied by text that is distributed free of charge in MP3 format.



By the way, the program continues to work so far. The number of people found has already exceeded 150 thousand. All of them can be viewed on the site "Self-portrait" .
