 From the web page

Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic

it.

Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises
eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the
person viewing the artwork.

It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to
suit the changing mood of the viewer.
