The Human Face - And An Odd Way Of Showing It

Add caption
The face is defined as the anterior, or ventral, aspect of the head from the forehead to the chin, including the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and chin but excluding the auricles. It has in most cultures an important role as the main feature for individual recognition. If you think about it - what is on the coin, your passport, your drivers license etc? It is also an important factor in individual attraction and interaction. You instinctively like or dislike a face in fragments of a second, without any heavy analyzing. How can that be?
Well, one reason is the many features of the face that put together make a unique combination, or "signature" which in your subconscious is associated and matched to all stored memories of faces. Some will be associated with pleasant feelings and some with bad feelings. Without effort you get a first impression witch will good or bad depending on your previous experience, from the moment you leave your mothers womb until this moment. A mixture of 24 different muscles make the expressions and features that you then will recognise as the smile, the look in the eyes etc, and in time the first impression probably will be revised on behalf of other personal features.
Computer science is now also taking advantage of the facial features in evolving biometric systems that use face recognition for security systems. The technology is used by police forces and casinos to spot criminals and unwanted characters such as cardcounters.
It has for ages been very popular to reproduce faces in different techniques such as painting, sculpture and photography. With the recent explosion in digital photography it has become very popular to publish portraits on the internet. Blogs and photo hosting sites of all kinds are opening en masse. One recently launched website has a slightly odd way of publishing portraits. The site is named Faceique.com, stating that the name is a composition put together of the words face and mocaique (French for mosaic). On the site users can upload their portrait which will be added as a small icon to a larger picture composed of hundreds of portraits. Moving the mouse over the mosaic will flash a full size picture of the icon currently under the cursor, and as an extra feature it is possible to send e-mail to the pictured person.
As a measure of the importance of the face, you may also consider the recent reports from extensive and recently quite successful efforts to manage face transplantations, soon making the former sci-fi movie flick "Face off" starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage more of a documentary.
