I could be wrong but I ran along this a while ago I came away with the impression that basically she faked it. she had a technique and guess and checked her own face but I don’t think she actually verified any of the other faces she made besides her own. I thought the contest was about envisioning the future I’m sure you can id people based of there DNA but I’m not aware of tech that would reproduce a face from some.
