About this work

This digital drawing shows two columns of faces side by side. One side has snippets from famous paintings. The other has photos of thinkers like Bataille. It comes from a slot-machine style app. Players spin to mix the columns randomly. You might end up with a Renaissance smile next to a philosopher’s frown. The mix feels playful, even odd. Try the Museum of Ethnography site to see more digital experiments like this.
