The final portraits are collected into a book with personal annotations by the artist.<br \/>\nEach portrait is captured by a camera that acts as the &lsquo;painter&rsquo;s eyes&rsquo;. An algorithm serves as the &lsquo;painter&rsquo;s brush&rsquo;. Both work together to create an abstraction that emerges into a human form. The final state of the portrait is determined by me, the artist.<br \/>\nWith these new computations tools, I hope to capture the specific moment, personality and emotion both of the subjects and me. The portrait&rsquo;s generation involved music, movement, writing, posture and conversations throughout the process.<\/p>\n<h3>Classes<\/h3>\n<p>Thesis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chang Liu Flickering Existence is an artwork that includes a series of portraits generated by a computational portraiture tool developed by Chang Liu that facilitates an intimate experience between a participant and the machine.&lt;br \/&gt; http:\/\/www.liuchangitp.com\/portfolio\/flickering-existence\/ Description Flickering Existence is a multi-platform art work that seeks to create an intimate experience between participants and a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/flickering-existence\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Flickering Existence<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16205,415,462,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-165","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chang-liu","category-nancy-hechinger","category-projects","category-thesis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":556,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165\/revisions\/556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itp.nyu.edu\/shows\/thesis2016\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
