Contributor Post Created with Sketch. Your Doppelgänger in Art

Max Ledoux
By Max Ledoux

A Maine native, Max now lives in New Hampshire with his wife, who is an editor at National Review, and their three cats in a c. 1790 house built by an American Revolution war veteran. Max was pretty liberal in college, but then moved to New York City, which, though it's the most liberal city in the world, ironically made him into a conservative. Max does a number of things for Ricochet, including maintenance, project management, customer service, and some writing from time to time.

The Google Arts & Culture app (available in Google Play and the iTunes Store) has been sweeping the internet the past few days, due to its “face match” feature that lets you upload a selfie in order to find a portrait of your doppelgänger in art.

The results can be uncannily accurate, as you can see to the right. In the spirit of culture & arts, share your results in the comments below. (But don’t forget that this post is public.)

    I think you just permanently retired the trophy for best match.

    I don’t have a selfie. Or a camera on my phone. Or a working camera. So, you’ll just have to take me word for it:

    When I did it, Google didn’t give me a match, but a suggestion instead:

    A clever plot to expose my secret identity.

    Google Arts & Culture? I’d rather spring for the “Bobcat Goldthwait Sings the Cole Porter Songbook” album.

    So, it looks like I’m the only one who is going to do this. It’s like the time I was the only kid in third grade who dressed up for Halloween. Some wounds never heal. I blame Max.

    If you’re in Illinois or Texas the app won’t work due to state laws.

    It seems that the law does not allow for publishing bio markers by internet companies. Thus iris pictures and other identity useful organs may not be published on google. Does not seem to apply to Facebook. But this was passed by the Illinois legislators who are not known to have any sense, with the possible exception of IlliniGuy.

    Yes, that makes no sense if the person with the eyes is the one uploading the picture.

    Wouldn’t it be funny if Trouble was his middle name?

    I looked an awful mess yesterday, but the selfie I took a picture of got the same results as unbrushed, crazy lady hair.
