Autoimage Self-Organizing Self Portraits

Autoimage is a self-organizing self-portrait.

Based on a model of how the brain learns to recognize faces, each pixel in an Autoimage portrait learns where it belongs in the image as a whole based on the activity of the pixels around it.

Autoimage brings the age-old medium of the portrait into the era of the network. Self-organizing portraits respond to the modern metaphor of life as the sum of complex interactions among many small independent agents.
