Is this real?

Hmmmm, it definitely gives food for thought. If you look at a professional photographer's work, you would rarely be able to see the view they had captured live for yourself in the same way. The photographer might use clever or artificial lighting, play with shutter speeds, pose his/her subject carefully etc. But if you or I saw the subject on any given day in the flesh, he/she/it would not look the same as the photographer's results. In that sense, photographers express themselves as artists. But clearly, the ipad operator did not have Morgan Freeman pose for 200 hours (even in sessions, as Kosmic said, that'd be something like 25 long working days, or many more shorter ones and I don't see anyone wanting to go through that as a subject!). So presumably, he worked from a photo. But then I would say that the original photo is the art in all this, and it may be that the ipad operator took that photo. In which case, the art, in my view, lies in the original photo, and not in the ipad copy.
Don't get me wrong Hamos, he's obviously a very talented individual, and as Kosmic's links show, a very talented artist. I just don't believe that the ipad production is, of itself, art, although it has validity in other senses.

Keep working on the Holly Willoughby project Kosmic - in this case, I couldn't give a f**k about art!  :lol
