Spooks are a series of procedurally generated spectral 3D faces.

This work is based on an old client commission of 100 physical clay sculptures, each being a head with different facial expressions and various levels of distortion, which I created during the early 2000s.

Each gen.1 Spook is based upon the very same base mesh, which is then distorted, smoothed and distorted again using a series of random noise generators. The color scheme of each Spook is programmed to always contain at least two complementary colors, which are picked randomly for each iteration.

The rarity of each gen.1 Spook is open to free interpretation as much as it may become obvious upon visual inspection.

The rarity of each gen.2 Spook is calculated by both traits and an Attractiveness percentage which have been determined using Facial Recognition algorithms.

SPOOKS GEN. 1 & 2

Forehead too small
Big interocular distance
Nose too wide for face
Nose too long for face
