A new computer program developed by German design studio Onformative, has been systematically scanning through Google Earth's database of satellite imagery, searching for faces hidden in the landscapes. The program was devised to explore the psychological phenomenon of Pareidolia, as experienced by a machine, by utilizing facial recognition algorithms to identify the "faces." By scanning every image at each individual zoom level, the program is expected to have covered the entire world within a few months.
