Created and shown over 36 hours during ArtHackDay “Lethal Software” at GAFFTA, December 15, 2012.
Physical installation built with a pre-existing art frame prototype. Viewers experience the work as a large portrait mirror, and they see a face superimposed onto their own in real time. Viewers can take a snapshot of their own face which immediately becomes superimposed onto their own. As people view the mirror, subsequent people have their faces replaced by the previous viewers faces.
A physical knob enables viewers to explore faces people have saved.
