7. Portrait Machine - Interactive Photography Install…
2 years ago
Portrait Machine is an interactive photography installation that visualizes the connections between visitors. It makes these connections based on a number of features, such as clothing choice, hair color, facial expression, and composition within the frame. It presents both similarities and differences in these characteristics, remdining us of our connectedness and uniqueness, creating strong visual patterns and playful juxtapositions.
This is an initial preview of the project which will run until Septemeber 26th at CBK in Amsterdam, collecting thousands of portraits and connecting strangers together in interesting and unusual ways.

congrats theo & kyle
kids especially seemed to have a lot of fun with it.
we're working on some more comparisons too :)
would love to get age detection working!!
I would love to know how you shoot the camera from OF
We have something on the works but we can't connect our Nikon D90
The camera is a Canon 450D so we're using the canon EDSDK. From what I understand Nikons SDK is not so dev friendly.
I think Todd was using a D90 too and had some good luck using the opensource library gphoto (some info here) openframeworks.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1956
Came out really nice and I can only second the slick style, presentation and execution.
New rule - I am not allowed to shoot video that is not on a tripod :)
Awesome project and good music choice.
The skin color capture is pretty stable, and you can see the attempt to capture the hair color in the little orange box (it doesn't average the contents, but picks the dominant color using clustering).
That said, I didn't have a chance to dig in to how Theo was using the extracted features, so I'm not sure if he just put more emphasis on visualizing the clothing relationships (or maybe if that's just what we notice first...).

We appreciate your work!
