There was a short film from David Byrne that accompanied his concert film Between the Teeth. It was a similar notion of long portraits. Instead of staying on each person for the entire duration, it cycled through various people's portraits and then started back at the beginning. Each progressive "wave" got more and more uncomfortable and funny as people started to get fidgety and weird the longer the camera stared at them.

You're kind of missing the point by not accompanying this with the most wanted song, also based on similar statistical analysis.

It's hideous. And hilarously bland and banal.

Well, if it gets "the kids" to check out these books I guess that's good, but it's all icing and no cake, if you ask me.

Very cool, but I find it hard to believe the idea didn't come from the Elvis post-it mural.
