If you upload the image of the overall piece (the one with an out-of-focus head looking towards it) 2 of the cloud faces are recognized as faces. The other image of the piece taken at a more skewed angle with no head blocking it actually recognizes 3 of the panels as faces.

The funny thing about seeing false faces (or patterns in general, really) is that scale (and to some degree composition) matters, even for us humans. When I look at the large picture of the cloud that is the first one presented in the article at 100% scaling, I struggle to see any sort of meaningful face. But when I locate that same image as a panel on the overall work in a smaller scaled down presentation I see the 'face' immediately. With a browser that can appropriately scale down to 25% or less I can see the same thing happening with the actual large source images... once I hit about 50% scaling I can see the "faces" that the computer recognized.
Obviously YMMV depending upon monitor size vs dpi as to where they stop being clouds and start being faces.
- tly_alex 12y agoyeah, those clouds looks totally like drawing of faces. Looks like the face of a statue in the museum.
