chic-o-mat
The chic-o-mat lets you (virtually) change your appearance, age and gender. This is done by overlaying an automatically produced self-portrait with the image of another person.
It’s as if one were peering into a mirror and suddenly encountered a face that’s familiar but at the same time rather strange. The chic-o-mat thus offers users a personal, interactive way to conduct research on identity, difference and representation.
Pilot project developed in conjunction with the “Gay Chic - von der Subkultur zum Mainstream” exhibition at the Museum für Gestaltung, Zurich, 2006; curator: Cynthia Gavranic.Among the programs used in chic-o-mat are: Processing, ImageMagick, MPT, Java, C++, Perl, AutoHotkey, Samba, Linux.
Thanks to all our friends and acquaintances as well as Kate and Juerg’s children, who spontaneously agreed to pose for the portraits.
