This project is a collaboration between Eindhoven based artists Rolf van Gelder, Carmin Karasic and Olga Mink. It works with realtime images and face recognition software. They also using the concept of social networking in this project by aiming to bring people close together in a playful way.

The Photo Booth was housed in Nottingham Contemporarys’ “The Space” exhibition area to promote the exhibtion of photographic work by Diane Arbus - ARTIST ROOM On Tour with the Art Fund. The user will take a seat in front of the camera and their series of pictures will be taken by face detection software. These pictures then will be downloaded from the camera and compiled into the style of Diane Arbus's polaroid. The images then will be displayed on the big screen and also will be upload on a photostream site as their memories of this experience.

Reface by Golan Levin and Zachary Lieberman is a surreal video mash-up that composes endless combinations of its visitors' faces. This installation records and dynamically remixes brief video slices of its viewers' mouths, eyes and brows. It uses face-tracking techniques to allow automatic alignment and segmentation of its participants' faces. The users also can controlled the clip recorded by blinking their eyes. Blinking also triggers the display to advance to the next set of face combinations.

5. PORTRAIT MACHINE

Portrait Machine is an interactive photography installation that visualizes the connections between visitors. The connections is specified based on a number of features, such as clothing choice, hair color, facial expression, and composition within the frame.
