Playboy centerfolds mathematically averaged

The attached picture (click to enlarge) is a piece of art done by Jason Salavon where he  mathematically averaged every Playboy centerfold from 1988-1997.  Kind of interesting.  What would be very interesting would be a longer term piece that would show things like 6-month moving averages - this way we could see small changes over time.  But very cool nonetheless.

(Edit: I just discovered Mr. Salavon did break out averages by decade for the 1960's, 1970's, 1980's and 1990's.  You can find some interesting trends - such as the midsections for the 1980's and 1990's are much lighter.  He also has some other interesting works such as Class Of and a very cool Late Night Comedian Triad Video).

Reminds me of a Time Magazine cover story a few years back where they "averaged out" a number of faces to show the typical beautiful face.
