Faces of Tomorrow

Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the

people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process

driven by international trade and investment and aided by information
technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture,
on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and
on human physical well-being in societies around the world.

To make a face of tomorrow you simply must have variety. By that I
mean, have a picture of anyone. No matter what they look like they
contribute to making the face of tomorrow like any other person.

Now with a few pictures of everyday people the you mix the features

of each face together. The result is the face of tomorrow.

What I found interesting, was the fact that the more and more we
mix ourselfs with each other, we look more and more like each other.
What I mean to say is that the face of tomorrow only seems to have one
face. It surprised me to see each face I made no matter who I mixed
together came out with similar features as the others.

The Face of Tomorrow is intensely site-specific as we meet individuals
from different locales around the globe and it is also extremely broad in
its scope as it attempts to distil these individuals into one face that some
how captures the “look” of a city or place. "The process of merging the
faces and coming up with someone new is really exciting. Archetypal
creative stuff. You end up with a new person. Someone who didn't exist
before. Someone who doesn't exist now. But someone who is nonetheless
quite real." The work is thus at the same time a document of a place at a
moment in time and also an extrapolation of that place towards some utopian
future where all differences of race or individuality are forgotten. It is this
juxtaposition between the real and the unreal, between the foreign and the
familiar, between the ordinary and the extraordinary and between the
photographic and the painterly that allows the work to resonate beyond
its immediate spatial and temporal references. It allows connections to be

made despite these limitations as we see that different places around the

world can sometimes produce dramatically similar results. These disjunctions

allow viewers to question their own notion of self and identity and to perhaps

come away challenged on one level and appreciative of an underlying

connectedness between all humanity on another.

I believe that this is the face of tomorrow.

I is the result of many different faces.

Because in the world we live in today

so many different kinds of people can live

in one city. This face is the face of tomorrow

because of the fact that many different features

came together to make it. It is very possible

that this face could already be amoung us.
