abstract = {Portraits of No One is an internet artwork that generates and displays artificial photo-realistic portraits of human faces. This artwork assumes the form of a web page that synthesises new portraits by automatically recombining the facial features of the users who interacted with it. The generated portraits invoke the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence to generate visual content that makes people question themselves about the veracity of what they are seeing.},
