This is a portrait of the 4 curators who invited me to do this commission. This work is very similar to the Altarboy / Cyrille portrait. Pupils are generated by images found querying Google with keywords coming both from www user entries and from pre-programmed words.
From the main menu, select a face and type a word. Then press START. A new bigger window will appear at the center of the screen surrounded by pop ups. The main window shows that face you selected with pupils formed by images taken live from Google.
Images are coming both from the entry typed by you (right pupil), both from 10 pre-programmed queries suggested by the person you selected and describing his identity (left pupil). Slide shows popping up on the screen display a selection of the found images.
The portrait reloads every two minutes each time looking for new images on Google. In the end, the portrait always changes according with our own social behaviors (off keyboard interaction).
