Cool project. Care to share some more context? Who are the little guys?
Re sisyphus_coding (but for more context): I made this silly thing last night... it generates an svg image of faces scraped (recognized? inferred?) from artworks sourced from https://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/met/ (a collection of artwork from the NYC MET). I wanted art because I thought I'd get more interesting facial expressions. Then I thought it'd look cool if I stylized them a bit a and connected them witha few lines. In the end it came out kind of cool :)
How are these faces generated? Does this facial image have any meaning?
I just used a face recognition Python library (I think it's literally called facial_recognition) and used some math to extract the faces, crop them, and transform them into svg paths. No inherit meanings to them, it's an art project.
