It’s still a really cool piece of art! Their other works are really fascinating and well-executed too - I especially like the kiwi with the hairy butthole and the… uh… scrotumfruit?
This looks like AI, too many details in the toes, rest of the foot, legs and knees. It would be a wonder to find one such turnip, let alone a matching one
That def makes the most sense aside from Photoshop or AI.
I don’t know much about growing produce, but I’d think making a mold for something that grows underground would be more difficult than something that grows on top of the soil.
*My bad- should have read previous comments closer. Good convo yall
The nexus machines in several airports have scanners like this and I can just walk up to it, look at it, and keep walking. No giving it my ID or anything like that.
This is an ICM Self Check In Kiosk, which features a “passenger feedback camera” and offers “a single token end to end processing experience”.
Basically exactly what you think it is, an advanced biometric system for reading your face. I don’t think airports have it activated yet, but maybe one day you’ll be able to check in without scanning a boarding pass or passport for the low price of your privacy.
Some like these are active at Bogotá’s airport, in Colombia. The kiosk screen asks you to look straight at the camera placing your feet on specific spots in front of the kiosk for alignment. Then it shows how it is comparing your face with the picture on the passport.
I’ve used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don’t remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).
Probably just an advanced form of identity protection. There’s nothing to see here folks. Nooope, just good, old-fashioned, freedom with security. Yep. That’s all. Definitely not getting 3d scanned and stored digitally for some hedonistic billionaire’s personal bio-lifedoll library, which they totally don’t use to fake your death if you go against the agenda- that doesn’t exist. Hey, have you seen this? Pretty neat, right?
yep, structured images are projected, then left right cameras capture images, the device compares the differences in each image and can use that to build a rough 3d model of the face. I strongly suspect these are used to make sure people aren’t using printed images to spoof the verification - but never put it past the state to horde data and hoover up everything they can.
That’s a mixed fraction in a foreign units System instead of a number. (Screw sizes are integers here) Edit: we also use 1 1/3 instead of 1-1/3 in germany, making your way of writing it down more difficult to read.
Both are used and acceptable ways to write it in the US.
Also, are your screw size integers based on any units at all? If so it’s just another metric vs standard argument, and if not, it’s even less intuitive than even inches, because it’s just a case where one just needs to already know and be familiar with that sizing system, like shoe sizes or something.
