There can be no doubt that Reface has a diverse international community of users to appeal to, and needs to provide content reflecting that. The problem is that when the user’s face is blended with a celebrity, Reface tends to err on the side of the celebrity skin tone, not the user’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my own experiments with the app, my very pale skin was repeatedly toned darker to match the likes of Rihanna, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Kanye West.

During the pandemic, Thorman is remotely maintaining a full-time teaching schedule at Danville’s Athenian School. Now, in the breaks between school periods, he walks or drives to friends’ homes, photographing them through their windows. These “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/adamethor/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">social distancing\u003c/a>” portraits, as he calls them, result in slightly destabilizing mixtures of interior space and exterior reflection. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like a complex visual space,” he explains. Some of the windows are so reflective they look more like portraits of the outdoors his subjects can’t enjoy. In each image, the window trim or door frame is cropped out of the photograph, further confusing the viewer’s eye. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13877851\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"960\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13877851\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-800x640.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-768x614.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-1020x816.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Thorman, ‘Max, Piedmont, CA,’ 2020. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Thorman says the series, which he began posting to Instagram on March 20, has been the result of “a rush of creativity.” He says he’s had a higher than usual success rate of making good images because he gets to be in collaboration with his subjects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some projects you labor and labor over to make right for years,” he says, “but this just felt right from the start.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding inspiration in limitations, whether with regards to time, materials or mobility, is a generative process familiar to many artists. But for \u003ca href=\"http://toshastimage.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tosha Stimage\u003c/a>, who just moved back to the Bay Area, those artistic limitations are heightened by the fact that she’s sheltering in place in a near-empty apartment. When she moved into her new place on March 15, she had just one suitcase with her; her boyfriend was due to drive the rest of their belongings up from Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AuXawhICs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alone with just a few dishes, foodstuffs and clothes, she started making arrangements inspired by her study of ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. She previously considered her arrangements and her art practice (which includes painting, installation and collage) as two completely separate things. “When you’re trained as an artist, that causes you to limit the way you think about what art can be,” Stimage says. “Why am I separating the parts of myself that I enjoy that inform the more formal parts of my work?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking back on the 50 or so sculptural arrangements she’s made in her new well-lit space, she says her mental state is visible in each delicate stack of balanced objects. “That arrangement looks like how I felt,” she says of each one. The series (sometimes she posts several images a day) is annotated by captions that explain her process, descriptions of emotions and notes of encouragement for others experiencing the pandemic in isolation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B94zw_zBAsv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stimage had a show scheduled at San Francisco’s Guerrero Gallery for May, now postponed. But sharing these arrangements on Instagram has reminded her of the benefits of experiencing art outside of a more formalized context. “There’s a democratic vibe in digital social spaces like Instagram, but only in this moment have I felt like it’s \u003ci>actually\u003c/i> bringing people together,” she says. These arrangements, made in a domestic space with familiar, everyday materials, are about stripping away the aspects of art that may alienate people. Stimage sees the posts as a form of direct communication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McKeon, similarly, has simple aims for her videos. “It feels good giving and receiving anything personal right now because we are experiencing this deep interconnected trauma,” she says. Even though she’s not normally a big sharer of her personal life on social media, she’s gotten over any potential discomfort: “If someone doesn’t like it, it’s so easy to keep scrolling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thorman says seeing new artwork coming out of this moment is helping him cope. “I know a lot of people who feel like they don’t want to share work because we’re in this dark time, but I really feel the opposite,” he says. “The community part of making art is so important right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

During the pandemic, Thorman is remotely maintaining a full-time teaching schedule at Danville’s Athenian School. Now, in the breaks between school periods, he walks or drives to friends’ homes, photographing them through their windows. These “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/adamethor/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">social distancing\u003c/a>” portraits, as he calls them, result in slightly destabilizing mixtures of interior space and exterior reflection. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I like a complex visual space,” he explains. Some of the windows are so reflective they look more like portraits of the outdoors his subjects can’t enjoy. In each image, the window trim or door frame is cropped out of the photograph, further confusing the viewer’s eye. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13877851\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"960\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13877851\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-800x640.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-768x614.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/Adam-Thorman-Max-2020_1200-1020x816.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Thorman, ‘Max, Piedmont, CA,’ 2020. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the artist)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Thorman says the series, which he began posting to Instagram on March 20, has been the result of “a rush of creativity.” He says he’s had a higher than usual success rate of making good images because he gets to be in collaboration with his subjects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some projects you labor and labor over to make right for years,” he says, “but this just felt right from the start.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding inspiration in limitations, whether with regards to time, materials or mobility, is a generative process familiar to many artists.

She previously considered her arrangements and her art practice (which includes painting, installation and collage) as two completely separate things. “When you’re trained as an artist, that causes you to limit the way you think about what art can be,” Stimage says. “Why am I separating the parts of myself that I enjoy that inform the more formal parts of my work?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking back on the 50 or so sculptural arrangements she’s made in her new well-lit space, she says her mental state is visible in each delicate stack of balanced objects. “That arrangement looks like how I felt,” she says of each one. The series (sometimes she posts several images a day) is annotated by captions that explain her process, descriptions of emotions and notes of encouragement for others experiencing the pandemic in isolation. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
