Lida Zacharopoulou – Psifímia – Greece

Psifímia are mosaics of the faces of the inhabitants of the uncanny valley, the low-class citizens of the humanoid realm who don’t have the time to complete their training or the money to be GPU nomads and convince the Discriminator to let them into the hills of human likeness. Each digital tile is a face generated by a DCGAN trained on over 220k images. The name is a wordplay between the greek words for digits or pieces of a mosaic, and non-human dead bodies.
