Average Face
By creating photos of a face through synthesizing head shots of multiple people, this smartphone app has caused quite a stir. It’s been used to show the average face of all the members of staff in a company or as an amusing way to create the average face of classmates. Though these faces do not exist, they have a mysterious reality. (From August issue, 2014 / 2014年8月号より）
