Abstract

Portraits of No One is an internet artwork that generates and displays artificial photo-realistic portraits of human faces. This artwork assumes the form of a web page that synthesises new portraits by automatically recombining the facial features of the users who interacted with it. The generated portraits invoke the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to generate visual content that makes people question themselves about the veracity of what they are seeing.

"Portraits of No One" is an internet artwork which generates and displays artificial photo-realistic portraits of human faces. This artwork assumes the form of a web page that synthesises new portraits by automatically recombining the facial features of the users who interacted with it. The generated portraits invoke the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to generate visual content that makes people question themselves about the veracity of what they are seeing. The video presents (i) the origin of the installation "Portraits of No One" an interactive installation that was finalist of the Sonae Media Art Award 2019 and was exhibited at the National Museum of Contemporary Art ? Museu do Chiado, in Lisbon, Portugal; (ii) X-faces generator, the engine employed for the generation of artificial portraits; and (iii) an overview of the internet artwork version.
