What Would a Billion Facebook Users on a Single Page Look Like?

We are all just digital noise.

 

That's right! The internet has everything for everyone. This fun project created by Natalia Rojas, shows what Facebook would look like, if you put the profile pictures of everyone in one single page.

The site is appropriately called The Faces of Facebook claims to harmlessly show 1,276,264,966 + Facebook profiles, without breaking any privacy rules of Facebook as it doesn't store anyone's private information, pictures, or names.

In fact at first the site tends to look like TV static or just digital noise (a speck of dust in our digital times), but as soon as you click on the individual pixel you will get to zoom in and see more detail. The faces may appear random but are actually placed chronologically as per Facebook registration dates (Yes Face #1 is Mark Zukerberg's). Interestingly, you can plug in your own profile in the colourful little pixel madness, by clicking the location symbol (top right) and entering your Facebook credentials.

Natalia's inspiration comes from her appreciation of diversity in life, as her about us page says, "Because there we are, all mixed up: large families, women wearing burkas, many Leo Messis, people supporting same-sex marriages or r4bia, chihuahuas, Indian Gods, tourists pushing the leaning Tower of Pisa, selfies, newborns...". She ends saying she doesn't code for fun, but codes for fun projects. So do connect with her if you think you have a fun project to share with the world.
