Each photograph and corresponding Web page is created using digital code from a unique dataset.   A dataset is constructed of digital code from an original portrait photograph; processed digital code that can be dynamically combined and recombined with virtually endless variation.Also; the Screenshots provided only illustrates one (of each of the nine generative artworks) of many possible outcomes, following the inherent generative features of the artworks.
