The Faces of Facebook All In One Place

It may just look like a webpage of television static, but the picture below is in fact the profile pictures of every single Facebook member from across the world, in one place. All 1.15 billion of them.

All 1.15 billion pictures were collected by Spanish designer Natalia Rojas and are shown as thumbnails in the order in which they joined the site. Hovering over a thumbnail shows that individual's number and name and if a user connects their Facebook account to the app, they can discover when they joined the site, and compare this to their friends.



The Faces of Facebook online app has scanned the public profile images of each member, which equates to one seventh of the Earth's population, and its makers claim that if you were to browse all of them individually it would take 36 years, 5 months, 9 days, 6 hours, 46 minutes and 16 seconds.

Each face has been added to the site in chronological order, based on the date in which they joined the site, and if a user connects their account to the app, it will tell them their Face Number.
