TY - ART TI - Self Portrait(s) [as Other(s)] AU - Talan Memmott AB -

"Self Portrait(s) [as Other(s)] is a recombinant portrait and biography generator. The piece recombines the self-portraits of a dozen well-known painters as well as biographical text on each. Accordingly, the generated pictorial and textual portraits are no longer self portraits, but 'selves' portraits, with subjects that are more than one. The piece deals with identity in an art-historical context, self-identity for any given artist, and identification as a process. There are over 120,000,000 possible recombinations." -- from author description, Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 1
