  • Symmetrical beauty and the fibonacci mask.

    It has long been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and thought that beauty varies by race, culture or era. The evidence, however, shows that our perception of physical beauty is hard wired into our being and based entirely on how closely one's features reflect phi in their proportions. Take another look at beauty through the eyes of medical science.


    Dr. Stephen Marquardt has studied human beauty for years in his practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dr. Marquardt performed cross-cultural surveys on beauty and found that all groups had the same perceptions of facial beauty. He also analyzed the human face from ancient times to the modern day. Through his research, he discovered that beauty is not only related to phi, but can be defined for both genders and for all races, cultures and eras with the beauty mask which he developed and patented. This mask uses the pentagon and decagon as its foundation, which embody phi in all their dimensions.

    *the above has been blatently plagerized from http://goldennumber.net/beauty.htm

    Basically, this guy made a mask based on the fibonacci ratio 1:1.618... and said that it is beauty transcendant of culture.

    Here is the mask in a trasparent GIF:

            the mask doesn't fit only because he doesn't look at the camera.

                I think I've seen a bbc document about faces, and this 'mask' was introduced there too. There were John Cleese placing this mask over Liz Hurleys face. No need to say, that the mask fit perfectly
                I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                    I think the mask should be different for women, no?

                      No, the mask is the same for women. I saw a programme on it with Liz Hurley and John Cleese

                              Aspasia is kick ass with the mask. Verus looks deliciously vicious as well.
