"Emotor"

"I started thinking about imagery and the face and how any kind of input into the face - no matter how irrational or unpatterned - would still create something we can decipher, look at, and read and get some sort of message from... Emotor uses the expressions of the face that are so cued into reading the face. I took a picture of myself and cut the features. And each time I did it, I created a different emotion, and that's just something I read into it. Anybody looking at it would read into this, would reinterpret it, as I think we all pretty much interpret the same basic emotions - frowning, smiling - but I was interested in seeing how much inflection and emotion I could get out of the face using random input of signals" Tim Hawkinson
