Face2wikipedia

Face2Wikipedia is an interactive installation that provides individuals with an opportunity to create a fictional but convincing Wikipedia-style biography page about themselves using a single self-portrait. To generate the page, the installation requires the person's name and a photo of their face. The person is prompted to input what they would like to be known for, and the installation employs machine learning algorithms to generate a unique and coherent biography page, reflecting an alternate version of the individual's identity.
