    Using technology to make history?? While technology unveils history secrets, Sydney state government came up a latest effort to document its multiculturalism spirit to remember history and a culture that the national embraces. "The Face of Sydney" creates digitally layered composite images with portraits of real people to produce composities that represent the metropolitan community in every Australian Territory and State. These composites will put together a final composite of The Face of Australia, aiming to be completed by 2008.

    I didnt quite get much information on its technical aspects. I believe more information will pop up soon as the project kickes off. meanwhile check up the links below
