Posthuman Blues

My pal eWarrior is up to one of his neatest digital tricks: taking chronology-transcending photographs of celebrities. The latest subject? None other than conceptualist/composer Brian Eno:

Enter a name, and you'll turn up any number of photos of famous people. But, if you were searching for Brian Eno, you couldn't have turned up this one, until today. That's because it isn't an actual photograph. Isn't it interesting how human beings have the same demeanor, even over a span of decades? The photographs that seeded this image are years apart, but the "ghost" inside still shows through.

Aesthetically, at least, there's something almost like evocational magick at work here.
