sisyphusshruggedfrom an article in the Times about research to reproduce celebrity facial traits on artificial "actors":
That's just not nice at all.
The center has created several projects to help identify those physical traits. In one, researchers use photos to measure the distance between points on a face. By overlaying the distances found on one face onto another, the computer can create a caricature of the second person that incorporates the features of the first. For example, Michael Jackson's face could be overlaid with the essence of the filmmaker Michael Moore's, creating a Mooreish-looking Jackson.
That's just not nice at all.

Could you walk me through some stuff?
Date: 2003-09-04 06:17 am (UTC)1. What are the artificial actors for, if not new Bogart movies?
2. Why would we no longer want to see new Bogart movies?
3. What does his persona have to do with his face?
Thank you, ever so.
