In "The Portrait Machine Project," Brooklyn-based New Zealand photographer Carlo Van de Roer (born 1975) explores the idea that a camera can reveal otherwise hidden facets of a subject's character, and their relationship with the photographer and viewer. Van de Roer uses a Polaroid aura camera, developed in the 1970s in an attempt to record what a psychic might see. His subjects--friends, family, artists Miranda July, Terence Koh and Aurel Schmidt, author James Frey--are connected by sensors to the camera, which translates biofeedback into information about their characters and how they are viewed. The camera depicts this information as color in the Polaroid and as a printed description and diagram. In this, his first book, Van de Roer prompts us to question what we expect from a portrait, particularly when it's of someone we think we know.

Rilegato. Etat : new. Bologna, 2013; ril., pp. 88, 40 ill. b/n e col., cm 24,5x30.(Fotografia). The Portrait Machine Project, primo libro di Carlo Van de Roer, indaga l'idea che una macchina fotografica possa rivelare intuizioni altrimenti invisibili all'interno della relazione tra artista, apparecchio, soggetto e spettatore. Van de Roer utilizza una AuraCam, dispositivo inventato nel 1970, nel tentativo di registrare ciò che può vedere un fisico. I suoi soggetti - amici, familiari e personaggi famosi, compresi gli artisti Miranda July, Aurel Schmidt e Terence Koh, nonché l'autore James Frey - sono collegati con sensori alla fotocamera, che traduce il biofeedback in informazioni sul loro carattere e il modo in cui sono visti. La land camera modificata descrive queste informazioni come colore nella polaroid e li restituisce come descrizione stampata e diagramma. Mediante il coinvolgimento nel progetto di personaggi noti, Van de Roer si chiede cosa uno spettatore si aspetti da un ritratto, in particolare il ritratto di qualcuno che pensa di conoscere. Libro.
