The Body Collective Installation at the Portland Art Museum - super cool:

Overview: This free-standing installation in the Portland Art Museum was deployed in concert with the museum’s exhibition Marking Portland: the Art of Tattoo. Integrated into an alcove adjacent to one of the museum’s busiest thoroughfares, this two-sided experience literally merges the community and the museum’s collection. On a large display on the inner side of the unit, visitors see themselves with details of artwork blended onto their likeness. After a few seconds an image is captured of the composite and added to the Body Collective collection. On the outer side of the unit, visitors can browse through thumbnails of every image captured since the exhibition opened.

• Proximity sensors on both sides of the kiosk facilitate gestural navigation of images and textures and the collection side has a Point Gray Chameleon digital camera to composite high-res video in real-time.
• Images are collected by the kiosk automatically; as long as someone is standing in front of the installation the camera will continue to collect images at a set interval.
• The quantity of images is indeterminate and the system will continue to capture them with no limit to the number that can be collected.
