Today is the last day of my show at PS122 Gallery in the East Village. Included in the show is Anthroptic, a project I did in collaboration with author Benjamin Rosenbaum.

It consists of eight photos that were selected from Flickr.com by a facial recognition program. Each photo is a "false match" where the face detected isn't human. Ben wrote a short story for each photo (and taken as a set, the stories interconnect and tell a larger narrative).

For the gallery version of the project we have setup a phone system so that people can call in and listen to the stories (as read by actors and, in a couple of cases, AT&T's text-to-voice demo program).

You listen to the stories by calling (212) 330-8284. Or you can visit our web-based version of the project.
