What is it?

This artwork displays alternate-reality daguerreotypes on an unusual mirrored screen.

Where has it been shown?

It was on display at 1460 Wallmountables at the DC Arts Center until September 10, 2017.

What was my role in it?

I created the Digital Daguerreotype’s artwork and device.

How does it work?

It changes images every 30 minutes.

Backstory

I found the remarkable reflectiveness of the LCD very much like a daguerreotype; its image is hard to see unless the lighting is just right. You have to hunt around a bit to find it.
