Looking Forward – Fake Town Squares

LookingOutwards — alex_mallard @ 3:08 pm

Seeing Stephanie’s post about the AI that predicts peoples reactions in emergency situations, I remembered seeing this post on one of my favorite blogs about an artist who creates fake aerial shots of fake town squares. The artist, Adam Magyar, creates these fascinating images by taking individual photos of people just a few meters above them, about 3 or 4, and stitching the individual photos together to form one large photo consisting of hundreds of people. Sometimes Magyar organizes the people into lines and other times they are completely random. On his website, you can zoom into a specific person to see what is going on with him.
