Michelangelo Project
Description
The Michelangelo project is an interactive CD ROM which involves the construction of facial portraits of Michelangelo through a model based on police identikits and historical material from the writings of Vasari. The work thus bridges the gap between fine art and popular culture and creates a sophisticated intermedia dialogue. The involvement of the viewer and the use of found popular material questions traditional notions of originality and the traditional role of technique and training in artmaking. Nola Farman is a central figure in electronic media-based art.
