Ilustration workshop — who watches the clouds, sees faces

Inspired by French artist Nicolas Gourault’s piece “Faces in the mist”, this illustration workshop proposes the use of collage as a technique to exercise our gaze and imagination, and start from randomly found shapes to create faces – human or animal, of monsters and even imaginary beings. The work “Faces in the mist” challenges a facial recognition technology, whose memory has previously been filled with historical characters involved in geoengineering, to recognize faces in cloud images. The way this technology responds to the challenge resembles a very human process: that of making sense out of chaos through creativity and science.
