Download images of musicians' faces and blend them together

Music genre average faces

I've been playing with face averaging and was curious what the average faces of rap, rock, and country music looked like.

Source:

• Here's my source code for the project.
• I scraped musician pictures using Google image search.

Tools:

• Facer
• Python and Matplotlib

I downloaded images of musicians from each genre and used my Facer Python package to blend the faces together. Check out this Jupyter notebook if you're interested in which musicians were combined for each genre. I tried to combine at least 100 artists for each genre and gender. Gender was based on an artist's name coming from "Top Female Country Artists" lists, etc.
