It's an interesting link,
but it doesn't show what you say it does at all.
There are styles you can buy into, that should be self-evident. Doesn't mean you have to buy into them, it's just that lots of people do. Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with that either.
Edit: lots of them contain wide variations too, look at this one for example:

The one thing these women don't have in common is the way they are dressed.

Well,
They're all wearing a brightly coloured/patterned, long-sleeved fitted shirt, with fitted trousers and with hair tied back and up. They all have a similar makeup style and are wearing similar accessories. Looks pretty similar to me.

Hahaha
Also, considering it's an artwork making fun of conformity, the stuff on the "about" page seem fairly standard pretentious artsy bullshit: www.exactitudes.com/about.php .
"By dragging the repertory of the street kicking and screaming to the studio backdrop, the series offers a purposely absurd response to the sentimentality of Jamal Shabazz (“Back in the days”) and the beloved and utterly bogus spontaneity of the photo booth. It’s a perfect fit for an age that’s made the “cool hunt” a corporate pursuit. Of course the photos are starchy and obdurately posed and ever so consciously styled, because there can be no meaningful limit to the cross-contamination between those notions of a authenticity and supreme self-awareness."
Someone should make an online generator for nonsense descriptions like this.

Statistically
Some of them would have been at different stages of being on the blob.
Ergo, another thing not in common
