Mr. Stahlburg, I had no idea your Ariana model was in use at KurzwielAI.net until I read about it in Popular Science! I was sitting in the hospital clinic waiting to get some shots and went through the nearest Popular Science magazine, and was bewildered because I saw a version of Ariana with a lot of dark makeup and said to myself, "holy crap, I know that model!!"

Just curious if you were even aware of this publication mentioning you? Eheh.

The article is a bit confusing, I answered 9 questions at length via email interview, but only part of one answer was included in print. Also, the silly art director insisted on cutting and pasting my virtual actress head onto the photographed body of a real woman. Arg! What's the point of writing an article about how real they can look when you do that!?!?

I'm not in any way associated with Kurzweil, I wouldn't mind if I was, but I'm not.

They should of payed more attention to you Steven! Eheh. I read the whole article and it only mentioned you once. Oh well. To be honest I liked Ariana more than any of the other virtual actress's on there. Stupid that the art director put a real body on her head tho. I thought something looked a bit odd. Oh well. Hope to see more of your work in magazines soon so I can gloat to nearby strangers that I've talked to this guy briefly in an art forum!!
