Created by Onformative, Google Faces is a an independent searching agent created in openFrameworks that hovers the world to spot all the faces that are hidden on earth. The applications searches through one satellite image after the other, in order to feed the face detection algorithm with landscape samples. Once the agent has completed the world search, it switches to the next zoom level and starts all over again.
