Who! Me?

Who Me? by Lyra Robinson installation

Digital Collage

Shown here installed at the Photographer's Gallery for an event commissioned by the Flickr Foundation.

139 Faces that could be mistaken for me by a machine, sourced from notable facial recognition datasets – out of ~20 million tested. Ordered most to least similar, by python's facial_recognition library. Works as an operational representation of embeddings and cosine similarity algorithms, while also questioning contemporary notions of an individual 'likeness'.

Major Datasets used:

Caltech WebFaces<, Casia WebFaces, CelebA, Chicago, FERET, Flickr-Face, Human_Face, Labelled Faces in the Wild, UTKFace, VGG-Face, MegaFace,
