We are currently working with the TIME magazine archive. Our goal is to extract images of faces from the magazine corpus (dating back to 1923), and to tell a visual story about how representations of human faces have changed over time, contextualized within the history of the magazine and the current events it covered.

For more information about this project, see http://onewomancaravan.net/TIME.html
