All project descriptions are provided by SBID Awards entrants.
The exhibition sheds light on the fascination of old masters for the human face. Visitors discover how artists in the 16th and 17th centuries extensively experimented with expressions, lighting, and accessories. Tinker imagineers created experiential spaces between the art sections, where visitors learn to observe, explore, and sketch on their own. Five themes demonstrate how the fascination for the human head evolved into a distinct genre: tronies or head studies. With hands-on installations, visitors actively participate and playfully examine their own faces while peeking at others. In the final installation, they use AI to create their own tronie.
