Project Description

Our largest task is to produce 1000 5-minute videos, in a 448 x 1008 pixel format, to be mapped onto a glass encased tower 50 feet high and approx 23 feet wide. The videos are closely cropped and stretched faces of ordinary Chicago citizens, shot in HD and slowed down to 1/3 normal speed. They are displayed on a Barco D320 LED-based display. 

We are also producing approx. 150 3-minute "nature: videos, all of which portray water in it's various guises...waves, streams, lakes, clouds, steam, fog, rain, ice, snow, etc., etc. 

Any given time, one never knows what will be on it, or if it will even be turned on. But if you want to see what one of the faces looks like, on the left side of the web page there is an archive control. Check 9:02 AM on June 3, or 4:02 PM June 4.

Here's a link to the live pictures of the project.  Including a full archive of pictures as the project continues.
