A while ago, we reprinted a set of brilliant pictures<\/a>\u00a0of “composite photography”, a more high-tech version of a technique Francis Galton invented in the late 19th century. Here’s a different approach, less sophisticated but still interesting. The artist, Ulric Collette<\/a> (who has 3 eyes, 2 noses, and 2 mouths) has digitally stitched together the faces of family members. Many are comic grotesques, but quite a few just seem to have the normal asymmetries we all have. As the artist suggests, cover first one side of a face and then the other to see how different the originals were, and then reblend them in your mind. The show’s title? Genetic Portraits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are just a couple teasers. Click the link and go see them all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
