The image was produced with software developed for the 'Normaleyes' project, using real-time face-tracking, calculating the physical location and attitude of each viewers face as it appears in the camera observing the space in front of the work (screen/display). Each viewer's captured face image is normalised in size, ratio and point of view (the angle or parallax view of the scene as a whole, determined by the left-right location of the viewer in closest proximity to the display and camera). The resolution of each viewer's face is determined by their distance from the camera and display (the closer to the display the higher the resolution), controlling the size and number of points that comprise the image of the viewer's face. The movement of the viewers, the shift in the point of view leading to dynamic parallax effects and the changing resolution of each layer leads to an interplay of the layers resulting in the generation of irridescent hybrid faces that share elements of all the viewer's faces in the scene.
