Description

By Golan Levin with Lingdong Huang. Developed at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry during the COVID-19 pandemic of March 2020. This grotesque face is an "ambigram": an image that is legible both upside-down and right-side up. It may be displayed in any orientation. Some of the finest works of this kind are the "Upside-down Pictures" by Edo illustrator Utagawa Yoshitora (active 1836–1887), and a series of "Reversible Faces" published posthumously by the British artist, Rex Whistler (1905–1944). Face ambigrams have been extensively documented in George Tscherny's 2004 book, "Changing Faces". "Ambigrammatic Figure #0073" was synthesized with the StyleGAN2 generative adversarial network, and optimized using pre-trained weights from the Flickr-Faces-HQ Dataset. The machine's hallucination was alchemically influenced by the faces of individuals in NIST Special Database 18, to whom we acknowledge our debt. No resemblance to actual persons is intended or should be inferred.
