Eigen Face
48” x 48'“
Oil on Panel
2020

Some hidden things in this painting:

The background shows some mathematics behind facial recognition. What is an Eigen Face?

If you notice carefully, the center is a 16:9 aspect ratio like a cell phone. She s absorbed into a world that we are only too familiar with. Lost in the neural network. Are we lost or do we make a new reality for ourselves in the virtual network ?

The binary code at the top with 0s and 1s- When decoded it says this “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change”- Albert Einstein.

How does that sentence resonate with you? With your sense of self? Virtual or the real one?

Art takes on new meaning once it is in front of a viewer. How does it connect with you?
