Three years ago, I set off on an extroverted introspection. I decided to discover myself by studying my reflection on the people I interact with; keeping notes with my camera.

One million photographs later and very little closer to making any sense, I was stuck. Thinking that I overdid it. It was not humanly possible to go through all of the photos and make any sense out of them.

And then Bruce appeared. Bruce Weighn. As deus ex machina.

Bruce told me about artificial intelligence and generative adversarial networks. Bruce said he could adapt one of them to meet my needs and we could then train it by showing it my pictures. Train it to make sense of them all and come up with something I could understand. Something I could identify myself with.

FACE:OFF is selection of the "somethings" our "machine" came up with. I consider them to be my artificial intelligently generated self portraits.

Come have a look, have chat with us. Ask us, tell us, help us make sense.
