Concept
I am not made up of me. I am made up of the intersection of every entity I have encountered. A self-portrait, then, should not look like me, but should be the amalgamation of all of the faces of all those who have influenced me. I created a self portrait using faces of several of those people who have been most influential in the development of my identity.
The code and self-portrait can be accessed here.
Process
I found available head shots of the people online, edited them in Photoshop to all be the same size, and divided them into quarters. Each set of quarters is then cycled through in its appropriate location on-screen.
