Here’s another exhibit that’s pretty cool.  It’s an installation art piece called CUBE that uses tech to generate “portraits” on the fly. In other words, the CUBE is designed to collect thousands of live video snippets and then make its own decisions on how it would display it on the screens. It’s like live portraits.

It’s designed by a guy named Lincoln Schatz.  His site shows an example of it.

Neat!  This is actually apropos because I set my students out to do some portrait art in this latest project. Here you can see how even a computer can be instructed to make pretty beautiful interpretive art. (via: Rocketboom)
