Montage
Here are a bunch of fun links related to [Dave’s?] video portrait montage idea.
The idea roughly is to gather an image of the person viewing the artwork, and then generate a matching image out of lots of webcam images taken from around the rest of the gallery. If this could be done in real time, it would create a shifting mass of funky real-time video stuff.
Anyway, here are the links…

Sounds great. I was planning to make a cubist self portrait: the viewer’face is being filmed from different angles, and images generated in real-time, and composed back into a distorted whole. Could produce the element of surprise, as a distorted mirror would.
