 This is the biometric average face of the Eve volunteers.

She is named "EveryWoman"

Volunteers in this image: 175
Required for total solution: 1618
Current convergence: 10.7%

1xPhi () or 1xTau () = 1.618
Used by artists and architects throughout history, in every civilisation.
Why?
I think the answer is in Eve.

The Ratio 1.618 appears in seashells, flowers, insects, gravity, honeycombs, wings, trees, snowflakes...

1m = 1/10 000 000th
(1 ten millionth )
the distance from
Equator to Pole of Earth.

The purpose of this research is to
discover the essence of every
woman, and her relationship to
Earth.
EveryWoman.
By understanding the essence
we better understand the individual,
ourselves and each other.

What is average?
If we find the average of all faces and create a new face from that information,
what does it look like?
What does the average person really look like?
How it works
Each person is photographed in the same way.
Statistical data extracted from the images.
The biometric average of all the data is calculated
using a computer program designed for this project.
The biometric data is used to create the final image.
The result is the body of Eve.
Some surprising information has
come from the project:

What is Average for EveryWoman?
Did you know...
Eve is exactly 100x cm tall (1.618m)
Eve's left side is 2x narrower than her right
Eve's left eye is exactly 1x units lower than her right
Eve's left shoulder is exactly 2x higher than her right
Eve's left breast is exactly 1x higher than her right
Eve's left foot is 1x smaller than her right
Eve's foot is equal to her forearm minus 1x
Eve's hand is equal to her upper arm plus 1x
Eve's arm length is 1x x Upper arm length?
Needed: 1618 volunteers.
The more people volunteer,
the more accurate the final image of Eve.
You do not have to be a model.
All sizes, shapes, races, creeds and colours are part of the average.
